🐰 Week 1 Golden Rule!

Allow your rabbit to adjust and keep handling to a minimum. Sit near their enclosure, speak softly, offer your hand gently but do not pick them up. Let trust build at their own pace!

Week 1 Checklist ✅

✅ By End of Week 1, Expect...

  • Bunny feels less stressed in their new space
  • Regular eating and resting observed
  • Beginning to use the litter box more often
  • First signs of curiosity and approaching the gate
  • Trust building naturally, never forced
❓ Common Questions
My rabbit is hiding and avoiding me ▼
Completely normal! Many rabbits need time to feel safe. Avoid forcing interaction and let bonding happen at your rabbit's pace.
My rabbit is not using the litter box yet ▼
Potty training takes time and every rabbit learns differently. Clean accidents, move droppings into the box, and stay consistent!
My rabbit seems frozen or scared near me ▼
New sights, sounds, and smells can be overwhelming. Keep the environment calm and avoid loud noises and sudden movements.

🌿 Month 1 - Settling In!

Keep things consistent and exciting. Introduce new toys, gentle playtime, and slowly allow supervised time outside the enclosure. Every rabbit's pace is different!

🚽
Potty Training
Setbacks are normal. Stay consistent!
🍂
Chewing
Redirect to safe apple sticks and willow toys.
🤝
Bonding
Trust builds slowly. Calm presence matters most.
🌅
Free Time
Start short supervised sessions outside the enclosure!

✅ Month 1 Milestones!

  • More consistent litter box use
  • Willingly approaches you during bonding time
  • Enjoys supervised time outside enclosure
  • Shows clear personality traits and food preferences

🌳 Year 1 - Fully Thriving!

By year one your rabbit should be potty trained, bonded, and confidently exploring their space. You and your bunny have built something truly special!

💕
Bonding
Fully bonded and comfortable in routine. Daily quality time keeps the bond strong.
🥬
Diet Transition
Baby to adult food. Slowly introduce leafy greens.
🎮
Enrichment
Clicker tricks, puzzles, and foraging games keep your rabbit sharp!
🏥
Health Checks
Monitor weight, watch for dental changes, and check droppings regularly.

🏠 Setting Up Your Enclosure!

The Hoppy Life recommends starting with a smaller, temporary playpen. It reduces stress, makes potty training easier, and gives your rabbit a secure place to bond before expanding their world!

Enclosure Checklist ✅

📐 Minimum Size

6 to 8 ft long by 3 to 4 ft wide, giving your bunny room to hop, stretch, and explore comfortably!
