The Bunnery is special indoor facility which is air-conditioned and set at a comfortable temperature all year round. Rabbits have poor tolerance to extremes of temperature.The building is mosquito-proof to prevent exposure to myxomatosis and calicivirus which are carried by biting insects and are fatal to rabbits.
Rabbits are housed in individual pens with hidey-holes, tunnels, boxes and logs.
The Bunnery is separate and distant from the kennels or cattery.
Food
Bunnies have continual access to food which is checked and refreshed several times a day.
We give a generous helping of a variety of veggies. This is a mixture of leafy greens and herbs along with a small amount of carrot, capsicum, kumara as well as fresh fruits and berries for a treat.
Good meadow, rye or oaten hay is always available.
We also feed an appropriate serve of Oxbow or Vetafarm pellets. Pellets are sprinkled on the hay to provide entertainment in the forage for food.
Fresh water is supplied in both a bowl and a sipper.
