Mi Bunny

It’s indeed nice to see that people are becoming conscious of rabbits increasingly. However, in spite of this, I do come across several questions. The first and foremost of them is regarding the diets of rabbits. Several enthusiasts, nowadays, do research even on the Internet but the majority of them return empty-handed. Reason? They don’t know what they are looking for. Let me tell you then (as an experienced rabbit owner). The chief requirement of rabbits is hay as it provides them with much needed fiber. Keep in mind, if you have sedentary rabbits, it’s essential for you to opt for grass hay as it is a low-calorie snack food that lets them eat to their heart's content without gaining weight.

Nevertheless there is a more important aspect. How can you supply it to the pet daily? Well, it’s always better, if you can keep hay inside of a rabbit's cage even though it can take up valuable space. What’s more, many rabbits are found to sit on loose hay and end with soiling it. .

You can do one thing. Make use of a hay rack that attaches to the outside of your rabbit's cage. This enables the rabbit to pull the hay by way of the bars of the cage whenever he or she has the urge to gnaw. What can be the consequence? Hay can be kept out of the rabbit's way and as a result you can help keep the hay clean.

How should you begin? Your first task is to build the hay rack with supplies from your local hardware store. For this there is the requirement of large-mesh hardware cloth, bailing wire,
wire cutters and pliers. After that let your rabbit move out of the cage and never let him back till the hay rack is attached to your satisfaction. If you fail to do this, the sharp metal edges with which you would be working may injure the rabbit.

Your next step is to select one side of the cage for attaching the hay rack. Remember that there should not be any door at this side. Besides this there should neither be any water bottle nor a feeder attached to it. What makes me caution you? Hay rack should take up most of the side of the cage and there should be enough space.
