Rabbits need time outside of their hutch every day so they can exercise, play, and socialize. Without this time, rabbits become unhealthy, bored, and depressed. You can also use this time to observe your rabbit's behaviour and appearance, and catch signs of illness or injury early and avoid emergencies.

How much time a rabbit needs outside the cage (or hutch, or whatever enclosure the rabbit is kept in) depends on how large and stimulating the cage in (what sorts of toys and play structures are in it). As a bare minimum, let your rabbit out for at least 3 hours, but rabbits in smaller cages should have more time outside.

Make sure that wherever you let the rabbit outside the cage is safe. Look for things that could hurt the rabbit (or that the rabbit could hurt) and keep them out of reach.

What will happen if you keep the baby rabbits?

If you have already taken in wild baby rabbits, chances are very high that their mother will not take them back. Mother rabbits will abandon their young if the baby bunnies, smell of human rather than rabbit. Baby rabbits can be fed warm cream using miniature baby bottles, if need be. Place the baby rabbit on its back, as this is the way it would be suckling from its mother, and place the nipple of the bottle in front of its mouth. Please note: It is best to leave wild life of any kind alone, the best thing to do for the safety of animals taken in from the wild, is to call animal services.
