Life-stage guide
Mobility, weight and appetite changes that need closer watching.
Encephalitozoon cuniculi is a common microscopic parasite that many rabbits carry silently, but in some it attacks the brain, kidneys and eyes. Learn the warning signs like head tilt and hind-leg weakness, how vets diagnose it, and why early treatment matters.
Grass hay should make up most of a rabbit's diet, but the label choices are confusing. This guide compares timothy, orchard, meadow, and other grass hays on fibre, texture, and who each suits, plus why alfalfa is a treat and not a staple for adults.
Fresh herbs are a fragrant, low-sugar way to add variety to a rabbit's greens. This checklist sorts common kitchen and garden herbs into safe everyday choices and ones to limit, explains portion sizes, and flags a few herbs and myths worth being careful about.
Rabbits explore by chewing, which makes a free-roaming home surprisingly dangerous. This checklist covers the human foods and common houseplants that are toxic to rabbits, the warning signs of poisoning, and exactly what to do in the first minutes if your rabbit eats something it should not.
