Circle Rabbitry

The rabbit classroom

Understand them first. Care for them better. Six little comics that look beyond familiar rabbit myths.

Please don’t scoop me up. Let me come to you.

Trust has its own pace

Personalities vary. Avoiding touch or biting can reflect fear, pain or territorial behaviour. Disliking being picked up does not mean a rabbit cannot enjoy company.

Little heads can learn

With rewards, rabbits can learn to come when called, touch a target or enter a carrier. Interests and progress differ; give them time.

This is my favourite corner. A tray here? That works.

A little litter practice

Many rabbits choose a toilet corner and can learn to use a tray. Progress varies. Stray droppings can mark territory; they are not deliberate mischief.

My favourite food for every meal? Hay is the everyday essential.

Carrots are a treat

Rabbits may enjoy carrots, but their sugar content makes them an occasional small treat. Good-quality hay and grass should form most of the diet, supporting gut and dental health.

I need room to stretch, too. Room to run. A place to rest.

Small rabbits need room, too

Small size does not remove the need to run, hop, stand tall and stretch. Rabbits need a safe exercise area they can access around the clock, with places to hide.

Are the greens enough? Fresh water whenever I need it.

Fresh water, always

Fresh water must always be available. Grass and greens can reduce how much a rabbit drinks, but cannot replace drinking water. Rabbits eating more hay usually drink more.
