The best types of food to use as treats for a pet rabbit are fruits and vegetables, although small pieces of timothy hay or other rabbit pellets are also okay. Rabbits should be taken out of their cages once or twice a day to be let loose in a secure area where they can run around and play. It is also important to provide appropriate bedding material for them, like wood shavings or hay cubes, which can help prevent their feet from developing sores. Additionally, it is essential to keep up on the rabbit’s dental health—dental treats specifically formulated for rabbits are available—and give them unlimited access to fresh water at all times.

Best practices for training a pet rabbit involve providing plenty of fresh food that is high in fiber, such as hay, and limiting treats made with grains. It is best to take the rabbit out of its cage several times a day for exercises, such as running in a wire cage or hop-ups. This should also be supplemented by playing games such as hide and seek or teaching it tricks with praise and rewards.
