Pro Tips

✓ Rabbits need at least 8 sq ft of hutch space plus 24 sq ft of exercise area per pair
✓ Timothy hay should make up 80% of the diet — always available, not rationed
✓ Outdoor hutches need shade, ventilation, and protection from rain, wind, and predators
✓ Neutering reduces territorial behavior and health risks — budget $150-300 per rabbit
✓ Avoid cedar or pine shavings — use paper pellets or fleece liners instead
