Who it is for, and who it is not for
This guide is for you if…
- You are thinking of adopting a rabbit and want to prepare everything before it arrives.
- Your rabbit has just arrived and you want a clear day-to-day routine.
- You already have a rabbit and want to check its space, diet and safety.
- You prefer sourced, numbered guidance to contradictory forum advice.
It will not help you if…
- You are looking for a diagnosis or treatment: only a vet can provide those.
- You breed rabbits for reproduction or meat: this guide covers pet rabbits only.
- You want a breed encyclopaedia: this guide is a care method, not a catalogue.

Gut stasis: a common emergency
A rabbit’s digestive tract must work constantly. When it slows or stops (stress, dental pain, low-fibre diet, dehydration, obstruction), the rabbit stops eating, which makes the shutdown worse: a vicious circle. In the study by O’Neill et al. (2020), ileus (gut stasis) was both among the most frequently diagnosed disorders (4.2% of rabbits) and among the main causes of death, together with anorexia and collapse.
The signs: the rabbit stops eating or barely touches its favourite treats; there are no droppings, or only a few small dry ones; it sits hunched, back arched; it grinds its teeth loudly (a sign of pain); its belly looks tight.
Timing: do not wait. The RSPCA advises contacting the vet straight away if eating habits change or if droppings reduce or stop. A rabbit that has neither eaten nor produced droppings since your last check must be seen the same day, including on a Sunday or at night by the out-of-hours service.
What not to do: force-feed the rabbit, give a “gut” medicine or massage the belly without veterinary advice. A study by Harcourt-Brown (2007) of 84 episodes of gastric dilation in 76 rabbits confirmed a true intestinal obstruction in 64 cases, most often caused by pellets of compressed hair: in those cases, stimulating the gut can make things worse. Only an examination, often with an X-ray, can tell the difference.
Other warning signs and how fast to act
| What you see | How fast |
|---|---|
| Not eating and/or no droppings | Vet the same day |
| Maggots or fly eggs on the fur | Immediate emergency |
| Heatstroke (fast breathing, collapsed, burning ears) | First aid, then immediate emergency |
| Possible ingestion of rodent poison, toxic plant or product | Vet or poison line immediately, even without symptoms |
| Fall, rabbit no longer using its hind legs | Immediate emergency |
| Head tilt, loss of balance, circling | Vet the same day |
