Bunnies need regular maintenance and check-ups...just like we do!
Make sure you know how to do 'Bunny Maintenance'
Every day, week, month, and year, there are basic things you can do to keep your bunny happy and healthy, and avoid bigger health issues and illnesses. Read our Bunny Maintenance page for easy instructions.
Be prepared and informed
We suggest you read all of the health pages on this site to get familiar with the kinds of health issues your bunny can encounter throughout his or her life. These pages can sound a little scary, but with care and maintenance, your bunny can avoid them!
Get a great bunny vet
If you live in the Greater Seattle area, use our Veterinarian Recommendations. If you are visiting our site from somewhere else (welcome! we're glad you're here!), we suggest you search the web for recommendations of bunny-savvy vets in your area. Make sure the vet you choose has experience with rabbits.
Invest in a good reference book
It's always good to have a reference book on-hand just in case. Plus, most of them have cute pictures of bunnies in them, which is a bonus. We recommend several excellent reference books.
