**This page is easier to view on a laptop for some reason so I will work on adjusting**
I will also be adding items I and others use on my facebook page
just search bunny items or setup ideas
Feed
Manna Pro Rabbit Feed
Tractor Supply
​
This is the feed that I use for my Rabbits/Bunnies. It is a quality feed but I will give you a transition bag of feed for your new bunny in case you want to use another brand.
If you decide on a Pet brand for bunnies I suggest something without added items. OXBOW is a great pet Brand.
Hay
This is really great second-or third cut hay for your new bun. Very soft and delicious. You will have less wasteYou can also get Oxbow Hay at Walmart.
This is a nice healthy feed topper
Small Pet Select is a wonderful brand. This is one of a couple different toppers they provide as healthy treats for your bunny.

Housing
Indoor housing
AMAZON
I really like this because it is versatile. Check out the customer pictures to get ideas on ways to set up.
Rabbit Hutch
AMAZON/Tractor Supply
This rabbit hutch can be used indoors.
Many new bunny owners like this one. Keep in mind it is made of wood so chewing may happen. Best used along with free roaming and chew toys.
Amazon

This is a beautiful rug that is washable. Would look beautiful in a playpen area.
Litter Boxes
I like the size of this litter box. It has a locking wire bottom for cleanliness so your bunny's feet don't get messy. It also prevents them from digging in their litter box and making a mess. The wire does not bother their feet, but if you are concerned you can get one with a plastic grate.
There are locks on the sides of the box that will screw together and lock the litter box in place, again so the box is not moved and played with. :)
I like the high sides. Every once in awhile the bunny may pee over the edge of a litter box. The sides eliminate the possibility of an accidental spill over.
Again, keeps their potty area more clean and tidy.
If you decide you do not want to have a litter box with a wire or plastic bottom then this is a nice style of litter box. Rabbits can easily hop in and out. Would work well with Pelleted litter. They may choose to use it as a nice little burrow instead. :) If they choose to dig it will deter the litter from getting outside of the box. There are fancier alternatives like the wooden IKEA "Hole" which can be modified. It is great bc it is a lattice type wood structure. There are startups who are working on creating similiar items that are already modified for your bunny.
Litter Box
This is the most affordable type of corner litter box. It does a great job keeping your bunny's feet and bum clean and your bunny healthy. I love the side locks and it is a good size for the rabbits I have. Downside is that the wire grate does not lock on. This is not okay if you have a bunny who likes to play with he grate on the bottom!
Litter
Pelleted Bedding
Amazon/Tractor Supply
​
I like this bedding because it is less messy, not dusty, absorbs well, and helps with odors. Can get on Amazon but cheapest at Tractor Supply. If you have a grate on the bottom of your litter box you can add a little bit of Sweet PDZ in with the pellets. This also helps with odors. You can purchase this at Tractor Supply in a bag sold for horses.
I
Pine Shavings
AMAZON/Tractor Supply/Walmart
​
*Cheapest at Tractor Supply
Shavings are the typical "go to" bedding. They are a bit cheaper but not as absorbant as the pellets and a bit messier.
****NEVER USE CEDAR SHAVINGS WITH RABBITS***
Grooming
Grooming Comb
Amazon
Nail Clippers
Really nicely sized nail clippers. LOVE them.
This is a nice grooming starter kit.

Health
Benebac Gel
AMAZON
While good feed and hay are enough for your bunny's tummy to acclimate this gel is useful if they are having any tummy trouble. This is loaded with 7 live culture bacteria to help keep your new bunny healthy during their time of adjustment to their new home. Helps to keep their gut health strong. I love the easy to use gel. Use sparingly as directed.
Also suggested are AllTech 4way and BioMos. Again best for stressful situations, worming, travel, vet, worming, not feeling well, tummy trouble.
Critical Care
This is great to keep on hand if you bunny is not feeling well. You can also create your own by grinding pellets into a powder, adding water and banana or applesauce to make it more enticing.
Here is a great resource with more information.
​
VITA Drops
This is a great daily vitamin for your bunny. Just a drop or two a day in their water or food. There are a couple others you can get as well like Rabbit Nutri Drops. You don't need to give this on a regular basis as they get all they need from their feed but if they seem stressed after travel, vet, etc. this is a great addition.
Extras
Feeders
Amazon/Walmart
I personally like these feeders for my rabbits. They hold both hay and pellet feed. They clip to the cage and they are easy to clean. They hay feeder keeps the hay from making a mess on the cage floor and reduces wasted hay.
Chew Toys
These are some fun and yummy chew toys. They are naturally beneficial to keep teeth healthy and trim.
Best Treat Value
AMAZON
This is a great value and has a little of each type of chew toy so you can see which one your bunny likes best.
