Hello everyone,
I am new here and feel so confused.
We may be getting a rabbit... A friends neighbours rabbit keeps escaping and the neighbour doesn't want her any more. My partner loves rabbits and wants to take her in.
I don't know much about rabbits so I've been browsing for more information about food and their bedding and it's all quite confusing for me!
From what I think I understand..
Rabbits need hay to eat throughout the day?
Something about pellets but I'm not sure if these are necessary or what they are for.
What about the pet food in pet shops?
Is the hay enough for the bedding? The hutch would be covered in newspaper and then hay or would it need to have wood shavings and the hay used purely to eat?
My partner has had a rabbit before so he does know what he is doing but I have to understand it all. My pets have to have the best I can provide for them.
I don't know where I can ask this here. Is it worth looking at getting another rabbit so she isn't lonely? She will be outside (she is an outside rabbit and we don't have room inside for her unfortunately). We also have 2 cats, males. They are 5 months old and Ideally I'd like them to like her and not try to eat her! Is that even possible?
