Oddly enough you just might get an answer to your question. Brian keeps rabbits-the real kind with the long ears, not the car kind. Well, actually he has both, but that is not the point.
I'm sure he will chime in once he finds your post

I had them when I was a little girl, and can tell you that they need a proper enclosure to protect them from the elements, keep out preditors and keep them in-the little buggers burrow, you know. And their diet has to be balanced-not just lawn grass. I think that is what you asking. They need fruits and veggies and other things. Wild ones love our clover patches.

Anyways....paging Brian for the rest of the info.

Well Rabbits are friendly little fellers...

And I wouldn't let them in your yard at all, rabbirts by nature are burrowing critters.... then other things can get them like mean assed cats and dogs.

Special care.... yep, they need love and attention, and a safe place they can call their own....
They can be litter trained, and do tricks. You have to keep electrical cords off the floor.

His cage is 4'X12' amd it is 32 inches high. He had a issue with jumping on the wall and bouncing over the fence to get out of his cage... so that is why there is a top on it.... His cage and polypropylene sheeting under 3 sections of plywood, then we top it with pine chips.... DO NOT USE CEDAR.... Cedar hurts the bunnies liver..........

Here is how big we was when he came to us...Now He can barely fit into that cage.



He mugs for the camera





He had a room mate, but the room mate has since been adopted.....
He gets a diet of 4 fresh carrots a day with about 1/2 cup of rabbit pellets, fresh red leaf and romaine lettuce.. I serving.
He also gets his litter box cleaned one a week.
He gets to come inside when it gets 25 and colder, other wise he stays in his cage...he has his fav-o-rite toys, soft balls that he lays on rolls around like they are real...takes them from the food tray to the water bottle to the litterbox, then he chases them....
It is too funny. He has a plastic box filled with Timothy Hay to hide in....During the summer, I have a fan that blows on him..
Such is the life of Riley.
