First Aid Basics

Emergency Preparedness

Packing a Bunny Go-Bag:

In case of an emergency or evacuation, it is important to be prepared for both yourself and your rabbits. Include at least a 10 day supply of everything you will need: hay, pellets, medicine, and your rabbit’s medical record, along with a bunny first aid kit. Don’t forget the litter box, food bowls, cleaning supplies, an exercise pen (x-pen).

Make sure your rabbit’s carrier is always easy to access and near your “go-bag” in case you need to leave in a hurry.
