Posting tips
- If your rabbit has shown any serious medical concerns, see a rabbit-savvy vet first before posting. Posts about health issues that require a hands-on exam for diagnosis will be removed. If your rabbit has not eaten or used the litter box in the past 12 hours, visit an emergency hospital or make an urgent appointment immediately.
- See Veterinary Emergencies for other common symptoms of problems in rabbits.
- See here for resources if you are in need of financial assistance for your pet.
- We can only give suggestions that are not a replacement for professional advice.
- If you have found a wild rabbit, see here for proper next steps and resources. Posts asking about wildlife rehabilitation will be removed.
- For behavior problems, include the rabbit's age, how long you have had the rabbit, when the behavior occurred, and if/when it was neutered. This will help other rabbitors tailor advice appropriate to your situation.
- For breed ID posts, include the rabbit's age, weight, and full-body pictures of their profile in good day-time lighting. More tips here.
- Rehoming posts are welcome, but read through our guide first and include your location, or the post may be removed.

No posts requesting help with wildlife rehabilitation.
No posts requesting help with wildlife rehabilitation.
This is a subreddit focused on domestic pet rabbits, and while pictures of wild rabbits in their natural habitat are still welcome, your local wildlife department, rehabilitator, and veterinary hospital are the best resources for appropriate care for orphaned or injured wildlife.
Inexperienced care to wild animals can easily be fatal, and most subscribers to r/rabbits are unqualified to offer appropriate advice for your region.
5
No obvious or regular defensive willful negligence of pet rabbits.
No obvious or regular defensive willful negligence of pet rabbits.
Any obvious posts of sub-standard pet rabbit welfare (including but not limited to small cages, wire flooring, untreated medical issues, dangerous heights, problematic diets) will be removed.

Outdated and dangerous advice not welcome.
Outdated and dangerous advice not welcome.
Recent rabbit care has changed greatly in the past few decades. Recommendations such as pineapple juice for rabbits in stasis are not accurate. Do not assist feed or massage rabbits in stasis without checking for bloat first. Advising users to self-medicate with OTC drugs and mineral oil is often incredibly dangerous. Users may have comments removed or be fully banned with or without warning.
11
