Bunny Proofing Your Home
Before bringing bunny out to play we should take some precautions
and provide a safe environment, a room or area that has been
"bunny proofed". Not only do we want bunny to be safe we also want
to protect our home.
Protect Electrical Cords
Either tuck cords behind furniture or place the cords inside pvc
pipes or paper towel rolls. You can also try using an old hose that
you split open and place the cord in. There are baby proofing
products to protect cords and you can try that as well. Always
supervise your bunny when he/she is roaming throughout the
house.
Remove Poisonous Plants
It's usually best to simply remove all poisonous house plants. Even
those hung from the ceiling become bunny accessible when
dropping leaves! Take a quick inventory of your house plants and
check to see if there is any danger. See the plants page for a list of
poisonous plants.
Protect Bunny From Other Pets and Predators
While there are many rabbits who live peaceably with other
household pets it's important that you make bunny feel secure when
first introducing him to the rest of the family. Not only can other
animals cause bodily injury, a very scared rabbit can actually die
from fright.. Start by allowing them to get to know each other without
being able to contact one another. When face to face meetings
begin it is usually best to make introductions in an area that neither
feels territorial about. It is NOT unusual for bunnies to fight or attack
if they feel threatened.
Use an X-Pen
If you want you bunny to roam the house and you are available to
keep watch of the bun that's great. If you are busy but still want the
bun to have some out of cage time use an exercise pen or some
other type of enclosure. You can also baby gate off a well bunny
proofed room for your bunny to play in,.
