Rabbits
Curious and complex, rabbits make fun and entertaining animal companions. Running, hopping, sniffing, nibbling – rabbits revel in exploring their environment, so it’s important to provide them with a home that is fun and interesting but also safe. Regular veterinary care, a good diet, and proper housing will help keep your rabbit happy and healthy.
