Our tried and tested list of products that we recommend to Bring your Bunny Home to our favorite Bunny Home(s)!
Knowing where to start when deciding to bring home a bunny & which Rabbit Supplies are actually worth it can be surprisingly daunting.
I’ve tried too many, searched for the best (most convenient) products – and feel comfortable to finally recommend my favorites. I can even explain how I made better feeders & litter boxes with supplies you won’t find in a Rabbit section for those who have messaged me when seeing (on my stories) the contraptions I’ve put together.
I know… I’ve been completely MIA on here for a bit. For the past few months, a lot has gone on; from baseball season, having to move because a scorpion infestation, to tons of adorably fluffy baby bunnies to raise. But in the meantime, here’s a helpful guide for all of those welcoming a bunny!
Bunny Supplies Guide
First things first, you should decide whether you are going to be primarily keeping your bunny inside or outside.
We live in AZ now so we can’t always keep them outside – it too darn hot. So we have a nice Hutch with a run around it for their outside living, & a nice condo cage & indoor run that I created so that they can get plenty of excercise and entertainment no matter the weather outside. It’s really nice getting to bring them in whenever we want to.
We love letting them roam the kitchen/living room. They hop over and stand up every time we open the fridge – waiting patiently for their favorite Salads.
Food, Water, Litter & Toys
Now, this is where I’ve tried SO many different contraptions and figured out that most supplies for house bunnies are actually not very great at all. So, because I always have to find a better way, I made some super easy adjustments to other products that ended up working extremely well.
Hay Feeder
First, we buy this Timothy Hay (always Timothy not Alfalfa).
These are actually bird seed block feeders but they work extremely well for hay! Simply cut some of the bars to make a bigger opening for the hay to be pulled out. You can cut either side, If it’s going directly in the cage, I cut the opening flap side. If it’s going on the outside of the cage and going to be eaten through a grate, cut the basket side. I put some cardboard on the back and bottom to keep little stays from going everywhere. I have a few baskets and just swap them out really easily – They’re the perfect Hay Feeder!
We also use an Ikea wrapping paper holder sometimes too! They don’t sell them anymore but you can get them here. It’s great and can be loaded really full from the top. Just add some zip ties and a hook and it’s a great Hay container option.
Pellets
I use this feed for pellets (make sure you aren’t buying pellets that have all the extra colorful shaped pellets in them, you’d just paying for sugar that doesn’t give them any nutrition, also always buy Timothy based pellets, they’re better than Alfalfa).
We love this pellet feeder – It can be connected on the front or back & is a top loader. You can snap the main part off to clean and refill and put back on so easily.
I like this little container tote. It makes filling pellets soo fast and easy.
Water
We started buying the cloudy white kind they have at Walmart but then I remembered why I like the Kaytee clear kind much better (plus they’re even cheaper). It comes with a floating duck that you can see from far & easily shows you the water level. So worth it! I keep searching for a top-loading water bottle but haven’t tried one that works well yet. I’m going to try this one.
Litter, Litter Boxes, & Potty Training
We buy Feline Pine Pellet Litter (cheap and does a good job) for their cage boxes. Then I like to use Kaytee Critter Litter for their litter box that’s in the living room. It’s white and really traps any smells. Make sure there is a safe grate so they don’t eat it.
Something I didn’t know before having Rabbits of our own is that they can be EASILY POTTY TRAINED! Well, litter trained but you get it.
It takes just days and is SO worth it. Whether you’re keeping an indoor or outdoor bunny, simply litter train them and your clean up will be even easier. They often go in one corner of their cage so notice where they’re choosing & place the main litter box there. They also go to the bathroom most when they’re eating hay, which is convenient because if you hang the hay in the litter box, it will keep loose hay contained too.
You can start litter training with multiple litter boxes and slowly remove some, here is a good helpful site for more Litter Training Tips.
