Adding A Dash Of Distinction

Some people enjoy creating especially long names for their pet. Something along the lines of Sir Humphrey Who-Eats-Bananas of Hoppington Hollow. If that seems a bit much, perhaps you just want to add an honorific like Mr., Mrs., Miss, Sir, Lady or Lord. You can also opt to add an actual title like Prince, Princess, Queen or King. After all, your pet is whatever you choose him or her to be in your realm.

I hope this got your mind brimming with ideas and you soon find the perfect name for your rabbit pal! Once you have the name nailed down, don’t forget to pick up all of the necessary rabbit supplies. Product essentials include rabbit pellets; hay; treats and toys. And of course you’ll need a cage or habitat.MidWest’s Wabbitat Deluxe Rabbit Home, for example, comes with a hay feeder, water bottle and feeding bowl. Addto the cage to create a comfy home for your new four-legged friend.

After the name, comes the essentials. If you’re looking for care tips for your new rabbit, check out:
