Rabbits have become one of the most beloved pets in homes. They are tender, intelligent, and very social, but they need adequate nutrition and an adapted environment to enjoy a healthy and happy life.

In this guide, we'll tell you the essentials for caring for your rabbit naturally and responsibly.

1. The basis of their diet: hay

El quality hay must represent the 80% of the diet of a rabbit.

• It promotes the natural wear of your teeth, which grow continuously.

• It provides essential fiber to maintain a balanced intestinal flora.

• Stimulates chewing and prevents digestive problems.

Recommendation: Always offer plenty of fresh hay. At ERA, we have a variety of hays (timothy, alfalfa, flower hay, or chamomile) so your rabbit can enjoy different textures and aromas.

2. I think: only as a complement

The feed must be a support for the diet, not the main food. Ideally, you want a feed that ensures your rabbit receives all the nutrients in every bite, preventing them from selecting only the grains they like most.

It provides vitamins, minerals and proteins that balance the diet based on hay and fresh vegetables.

3. Fresh fruits and vegetables

In addition to hay and feed, fresh vegetables are essential:

Recommended: lamb's lettuce, escarole, arugula, celery, pepper, carrot in small quantities.

Fruits: as an occasional treat (apple, pear, strawberries).

4. Water always available 

Fresh, clean water should always be accessible. You can offer it in either a bottle or a bowl, depending on your rabbit's preference.

5. Hygiene and environment

A clean and comfortable environment is key to your well-being: Use natural substrates , the Naturlitter recycled paper or vegetable pellets, which are absorbent, control odor and respect their delicate paws.

Avoid sawdust or dusty sand that can affect your airways.

6. Enrichment and socialization
