We advocate for rabbits living freely in homes, but it comes with challenges. Let's dive into these hacks:
1. Hay Bag Binder Clips
Keep your rabbit's litter box clean by using binder clips to secure the hay bag. Prevent messy hay situations and ensure a tidy space.
2. DIY Forage
Create your own forage using dried herbs and flowers from tea shops. It's cost-effective and tailored to your rabbit's preferences.
3. Homemade Rabbit Treats
Utilize a food dehydrator to make natural rabbit treats. Dehydrate fruits and veggies for a healthy, cost-efficient alternative to store-bought treats.
4. Forage in Toys
Make toys more appealing by incorporating forage. Sprinkle it in baskets, balls, or any favorite playthings to engage your rabbit's interest.
5. Store Hay Outside
Keep hay outside to avoid the mess, dust, and smell. Store it in containers outside the living space for a cleaner home environment.
6. Grooming on a Table
Make grooming sessions calmer by placing your rabbit on a high table. This prevents them from running away, ensuring a more relaxed grooming experience.
7. Critical Care for Travel
During long car rides, use critical care to ensure your rabbit gets nutrients and water. Administer a syringe of critical care during breaks to maintain their digestive health.
8. Simplify Morning Salad
Save time on your rabbit's morning salad by opting for organic spring mix. It's nutritious, convenient, and a time-saving choice.
9. Palm Leaf Bowls for Chewing
When your rabbit gets extra chewy, offer palm leaf bowls. These natural, consumable treats can redirect their chewing habits.
10. Desensitize to Scary Spaces
Desensitize your rabbit to scary areas by luring them with treats. For example, reward them in the kitchen to ease their anxiety about loud noises or unfamiliar smells.
