Initials

As a responsible rabbit owner, I will consider my rabbit a family member. I will make every effort to commit to the care of my rabbit for his lifetime, even during times when having a rabbit is inconvenient, such as when moving or when experiencing training/behavior difficulties.

Initials

I will rabbit-proof the area my rabbit accesses for both my rabbit’s safety and that of my possessions. I will keep houseplants and electrical wires out of my rabbit’s reach. Electrical cords will be hidden or covered with plastic tubing to prevent accidental electrocution.

Initials

I will provide sufficient housing for my rabbit. It will be large enough for my rabbit to sit upright, stretch, turn around and be active. It will contain food, toys and a litter pan. All or some portion of the flooring will be solid. I will use rabbit-safe litter, not clay or scoopable litter or wood shavings.

Initials

I will give my rabbit exercise time outside his cage each day. If this exercise is given outdoors, it will be supervised in a safe area that prevents escape from digging and climbing and access by predators. My rabbit will not be allowed in this enclosure after dark.

Initials

I will provide proper grooming for my rabbit, this includes brushing and nail trims. I will check my rabbit’s teeth regularly for overgrowth.

Initials

I will provide a balanced diet to my rabbit. This will consist of fresh vegetables and fruits, and (optionally) commercial pellets. Timothy or other grass hay will be provided at all times.

Initials

I will never physically abuse my rabbit, nor will I allow any other person to do so. I will always supervise any children when they are interacting with my rabbit.

Initials

I will always keep my rabbit in good health, which includes providing my rabbit with regular veterinary care from a veterinarian knowledgeable in rabbit medicine.

Initials

If I am unable to care for my rabbit and/or unable to maintain this agreement for any reason, I will return my rabbit to Rabbit Haven. I will not sell, give away or abandon my rabbit.

Initials

There may be special circumstances when a rabbit is not spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. If this is the case with my rabbit, I agree to get my rabbit spayed/neutered by the agreed on date of ________________________and to provide proof of such to Rabbit Haven.
