Hi, I’m Aileen Carol Hogspot, with Friends of Rabbits, I’m here at the Animal Welfare League
at Arlington, Virginia, and I’m here to talk to you about how to care for your rabbit. How to care
for your rabbit will consist of many different parts, we’re gonna touch into a variety of topics,
some of which will be basic health considerations, giving medications, housing, diet, importance
of spay and neuter, social needs, hygiene, bunny proofing your home, handling your rabbit, and
relaxing your rabbit. Caring for your rabbit is probably filled with a lot of different
misconceptions for those who have never ever had a rabbit before. Rabbits are very busy
animals, they’re very creative, they are not low maintenance and they will stay with you for quite
some time. The best thing to do is get a hold of, and find a vet that you feel comfortable with that
you can talk with, because that will truly let you enjoy your rabbit and make sure that you keep
them happy and healthy for the rest of their life. Friends of Rabbits is a group that’s currently in
the Washington metropolitan area, I’m the vice president of projects. We’re all volunteer, non-
profit organization, and we do help in education, rehabilitation, and getting rabbits out and
adapted to new homes. Such as this rabbit, which currently up for adoption. There’s a lot to learn
on how to care for your rabbits, so why wait, let’s get started.
