2. Water bottle with metal balls for licking. We have an automatic drip system but this would work great! https://www.chewy.com/lixit-wide-mouth-small-animal-water/dp/148598
3. Must have Timothy hay and pellets Daily, I use a bail of hay from our local feed store https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/standlee-premium-western-forage-premium-timothy-grab-go-compressed-bale?solr=1&cm_vc=-10005
I like to use these hay bags; https://www.amazon.com/Pig-Pet-Chinchilla-Hamsters-Animals-Supplies/dp/B08SJCS3JT/ref=sr_1_52?crid=35F0NHYO436B5&keywords=hay+bag+for+rabbits&qid=1662096568&sprefix=hay+bag%2Caps%2C169&sr=8-52
4. Pellets: : Kalmbach pellets are required the first few weeks you can switch them to what you want after that. Your bunny will come with some to start you off with. Mix half and half with the new food if you choose to switch. Then gradually add more of the new food until old food is gone.
5. Treats after 3-4 months of age they can have small amounts of dark leafy greens only, no ice-burg lettuce. Kale, spinach, arugula, bananas, strawberry tops, apples is what they are used to in very tiny amounts. Grass outside, dandelions and, garden greens are fine as long as they do not have any chemicals on them. Be careful not to give them too many treats at once or they can get mushy poop. A bunny has two kinds of poop soft clusters(they eat these for digestion but you will still see some) and hard dry balls. Runny/liquid poop is not good. Some rusty red/orange and darker pee is fine as long as its not all the time. Orange and red usually means they are protein dumping and getting to much protein.
6. Resting mat to get off the wire for them to lay on in the wire area. https://www.allthingsbunnies.com/Colorful-Rest-Mats-p/rest128.htm
Memory foam pads and ceramic tiles also make great surfaces for your bunny to relax on.
7. Hay and food feeder. I buy mine at chewy.com https://www.chewy.com/ware-sifter-small-animal-feeder-color/dp/261956
8. Scatterless litter pan with wire over it also at Chewy.
https://www.chewy.com/van-ness-sifting-cat-litter-pan-frame/dp/55362
To keep any odor away be sure to empty the litter pan daily. I use white vinegar or YL thieves cleaner to clean my hutches, litter pans and trays. I rinse with hot water then spray them, then rinse again. https://www.youngliving.com/en_US/products/thieves-household-cleaner
9. Equine pine pellets for litter in litter pan to soak up urine and keep odor away-at tractor supply. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/tractor-supply-pine-pellet-stall-bedding-40-lb?cm_vc=-10005
10. Toys chew kabobs, toss toys whatever you fancy. My favorites are toilet paper rollers and pine cones. They are free and they love them. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/kaytee-small-animal-ka-bob-chew-dispenser-cage-toy-large?cm_vc=-10005
11. Optional – exercise pen for outdoor exercise or indoor cage or habitat. https://www.chewy.com/frisco-dog-exercise-pen-step-through/dp/125049
Never leave your bunny unattended outside of its cage unless the room it’s in is bunny proofed. They will chew on wood and wires. Do not leave them unattended outside either, predators can kill them if they are not protected in their cage.
12. You can use people nail clippers for their nails. https://www.chewy.com/frisco-nail-trimmer-dogs/dp/233479
13. I comb mine when they are shedding during shedding season when the weather changes. A fine tooth comb is good to have. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZZXF81G?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
14. Small house for them to sleep in or cat bed is optional if your cage doesn’t have a nesting box/bedroom with solid floor.(no wire) I use nesting boxes and turn them on their side and they can use it as a perch and a hiding place/bed. I put hay in there also but don’t put it the way it’s suppose to be flat or they will use it as a litter pan. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/ware-rabbit-nest-box?cm_vc=-10005
15. If your bunny is outdoors make sure it’s protected from the elements. Heated water bottles are good for winter. You can also use straw for bedding in the nesting area. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/standlee-premium-western-forage-certified-straw-grab-go-compressed-bale?solr=1&cm_vc=-10005
