Rabbits have become very popular pets in recent years. Now, just as when adopting a dog or cat, your customers should be very clear about their needs.

One of the most important things for the rabbit to grow healthy and happy is to understand that it needs to spend time out of the cage daily. Otherwise, you can become stressed and develop aggressive behavior.
