How long should you wait to hold and play with your new pet bunny?

Answer 1

Rabbits should be let out of their enclosures every day for at least 4 hours so they can play, exercise, socialize, and so their owners can observe their behaviour and keep track of their health and wellbeing. Rabbits should be closely supervised so they don't get injured, or else the room where they're let into should be completely bunny-proofed. Extreme caution should be exercised when letting your rabbits outdoors because of the many dangers out there (like predators, parasites, toxins like pesticides and pollution, bad weather, the ability to escape, even vehicles as it could get hit by a car).

Answer 2

When its cold (less then 10 degrees Celsius), no longer then 30 minutes or so. When it's warm and they are in the shade with water, food and protection from predators 3-4 hours is totally fine.

If it's snowy, make sure your rabbit doesn't eat any snow. Pet rabbits have sometimes lost their instincts and they do things that make them sick. Eating snow leads to hypothermia and GI stasis -- that means serious illness, even death. If you see your rabbit eating snow, bring her inside right away, and observe her health closely for the next 4 hours. Be ready to call the vet.

Unless the weather is bad, there's no time limit to how long your bunny can stay outside. There are dangers outside, though, so unless you can make sure your rabbit is safe, your rabbit shouldn't be outside, period.

Dangers (aside from poor weather) include:

• Toxic plants: either because they're poisonous or unhealthy, or because they're polluted, like with pesticides or other chemicals, car exhaust, or parasites (these can be left behind by wild animals)
• Predators: this includes wild animals (like raccoons, haws, foxes), neighbourhood dogs/cats, and other people; insects can also harm your bunny
• Escape: it's not only sad for you if the bunny escapes, but sad for the bunny too, because pet animals are not like wild animals. Even if your rabbit looks like the wild rabbits in your area, your bunny doesn't know how to find food or shelter like they do.

The earlier you handle/love your bunny the better.
