The following may seem like a lot of work to go through to find a veterinarian, but your rabbits’ well-being depends upon finding the most experienced veterinary care available. We hope that within another few years, veterinarian schools will begin to understand rabbits well enough so that veterinarians can be properly trained before they run across a rabbit in their practice. all about rabbits. The other problem is that veterinarians not trained in rabbit medicine should be responsible enough to refer you to another veterinarian. Instead many just see the green of your money and say to themselves, “Sure I’m a vet, I can see your pet, after all, it’s only a rabbit”. When you find a veterinarian who is honest enough to refer you to someone else, be sure to refer people to him/her and if you have cats or dogs, give him that business. It’s really great to work with an honest vet!
Place the cage in a rabbit-proof area. You'll want to be able to let your bunny out to hop around, so place the cage in a room that you don't mind sharing and that is safe for the bunny.

As rabbit teeth grow continuously, it is really important that they have the opportunity to chew to wear the teeth down and prevent overgrowth or uneven growth. This continuous growth is a feature they share with rodents. One of the best ways to ensure that rabbits can keep their teeth healthy is to provide plenty of hay to chew. When choosing foods for your rabbit, always opt for one that contains plenty of fibre and always offer fresh hay and water alongside any other foods.
