The Rabbit Nursery Perth

And we’re back!

Just a little cutie we are helping raise 🍼 as it lost it’s mumma bun.

Always remember that post birthing complications can happen to anyone, even rabbits! Is it really worth possible death, just for a litter of babies?

This list is just a guide and many more fruits, vegetables and plants may be safe for your rabbit to eat 🌱🍃

As always, alot of foods need to be fed in moderation.
