All rabbits must have unrestricted access to all resources at all times. All areas to which rabbits have access, including temporary roaming areas, must be made ‘rabbit-safe’.

Possible dangers in the household are, e.g., poisonous plants and power cables. But also the nibbling and ingestion of unsuitable objects can have life-threatening consequences.
