Caring for Your Domestic Pet Rabbit's Health
Two of the most important aspects of maintaining your rabbit’s health are proper diet and sufficient exercise. Provide these two things and you’ll go a long way to giving your rabbit a healthy life.
Become familiar with your rabbit's normal behavior, so you can detect any changes that might indicate health problems.
In particular, you should know how much hay and pellets he normally eats in a day, how much water he drinks and his activity level when exercising.

If you have a bonded pair, you must be even more diligent about knowing your bunnies and their habits in order to know which bunny does what. If you notice a change in any of these behaviors, it’s cause for concern.
Rabbits do not require periodic medications such as heart-worm medication or vaccinations. It is a good idea to have your rabbit examined by a veterinarian experienced in rabbit care once per year. A professional can spot problems that you might miss.
