Rabbit Care
San Diego House Rabbit Society has supported our community through education about responsible rabbit care, spaying/neutering, and adoption. We are a 501(c)(3) volunteer-driven nonprofit organization, which depends on donations from our community to fund our work. Please support us in our goals of rescue, adoption, and education.
Poisonous or Dangerous Foods
Poisonous or Dangerous Foods: Some foods are poisonous or dangerous to rabbits and can cause illness and/or death. Never feed your rabbit anything from this list.
Providing a Healthy Rabbit Diet
Providing a Healthy Rabbit Diet: Unlimited grass hay is the single most important part of a healthy rabbit diet, supplemented with grass-based pellets and fresh rabbit-safe greens.
All About Hay
All About Hay: Grass hay should compose about 85 percent of most adult rabbits’ daily diets. Rabbits all need access to hay, but the amount and type of hay varies.
The Place of Pellets
The Place of Pellets: Hay-based pellets for rabbits are dietary supplements that supply a more concentrated amount of vitamins and minerals than you find in hay and veggies alone.
Daily Fresh Leafy Greens
Daily Fresh Leafy Greens: Fresh greens help house rabbits stay hydrated and provide fiber and essential nutrients. Learn which greens are safe and healthy for rabbits.
Fruit Is a Tasty Treat
Fruit is a Tasty Treat: Fruits like apples, bananas, and berries are a treat because of their high sugar content, and should be given sparingly. Learn more about safe and unsafe treats.
