    *The Rabbit Education Hub offers everything you need to raise a healthy, happy bunny. From proper diets and socialization to grooming and enrichment, this hub connects you to expert approved resources that support your rabbit at every life stage.

    Keeping rabbits indoors offers major advantages - it protects them from outdoor threats like predators and harsh weather, and allows for closer bonding, which helps pet parents recognize early signs of illness or discomfort.

    To thrive indoors, bunnies need a safe, spacious habitat with soft bedding, fresh water, nutritious food (especially hay), and enrichment like toys and playpens. A playpen can serve as a secure space for exercise and fun, while also helping with bunny proofing to prevent chewing on unsafe household items.

    Indoor rabbits can enjoy the outdoors too - with precautions.

    Always supervise them, provide shade, and ensure they’re safe from predators and harmful substances like treated grass.

    With the right setup, bunnies can also be litter trained using reward based methods and consistency.

    Rabbits make wonderful indoor companions - bringing warmth, joy, and a special kind of charm to your home.

    By providing a warm, stimulating environment and tuning into your rabbit’s individual needs, you will lay the groundwork for a joyful, healthy life together and with a bit of planning and care, you and your bunny can share a peaceful, rewarding life as loving companions.

    Chewy editorial team provides helpful advice and a video guide to show you that with the right care and environment, living with a house rabbit can be a truly rewarding experience for both you and your furry friend.
