General requirements
Enrichment
Under natural or semi-natural conditions, rabbits would spend a large proportion of their active time on foraging and feeding. In addition, they would occupy themselves with digging their typical underground burrows and nests.

Therefore, species-appropriate husbandry offers, e.g., enrichment that allows rabbits to perform important elements of foraging and exploratory behaviour.
Possibilities to enrich the environment:
- Items and materials like wooden gnawing bars that can be manipulated, and littered areas for exploration and manipulation (e.g., sniffing, gnawing, scratching, marking with the chin gland)
- Roughage
- Social contacts
