Everything you need to get started, by budget
New to rabbits? Setting up comes down to a handful of essentials that work together: a safe space to live, a litter box with rabbit-safe litter, a feeder for the unlimited hay rabbits need, a bowl for water and greens, somewhere cozy to hide, and a few chews for ever-growing teeth. Each kit below builds on the last, so pick the one that fits your budget and you have everything you need. Click any product name to see current prices and buy links on the setups page. Budget bands are rough planning ranges, not prices; the live setups page shows current prices.
The no-overwhelm essentials for day one: a safe space, a litter box and rabbit-safe litter, a hay feeder, a water bowl, and a few chews.

Budget bands are rough planning ranges, not prices, and change often. This is researched care information, not veterinary advice. Always confirm current pricing and product details on the setups page, and check with your own exotics vet for health questions before you buy.
