Welcome to HomeOfRabbit.com
I’m John Mensah, a rabbit keeper since 2018 and the founder of HomeOfRabbit.com.
Over the years, I’ve learned that raising rabbits successfully is not just about putting rabbits in a hutch and giving them feed. Good rabbit keeping requires understanding their housing, feeding, breeding, health, behavior, and the environment they live in.
I created HomeOfRabbit.com to share practical, straightforward information based on hands-on rabbit keeping experience.
I’ve also had the opportunity to be featured on 3News, giving me another platform to share knowledge and practical experience about rabbit keeping.
My goal is simple: to help rabbit owners and small-scale farmers raise healthy, productive rabbits with practical information they can actually use.
My Rabbit-Keeping Journey
I started keeping rabbits in 2018.
Like many people getting into rabbit keeping, I quickly discovered that there is a big difference between simply knowing about rabbits and actually taking care of them every day.
Rabbit keeping involves many small decisions that can have a major effect on the animals.
What should rabbits eat?
How should a rabbit hutch be designed?
How much space do rabbits need?
How do you recognize when a rabbit is sick?
How should breeding rabbits be managed?
How can rabbits be kept comfortable in a hot or humid environment?
These are the kinds of practical questions that rabbit owners and farmers face.
My own experience has taught me to look beyond generic advice and pay attention to what actually works in real-world conditions.
That experience is one of the main reasons I created HomeOfRabbit.com.
Why I Created HomeOfRabbit.com
When looking for information about rabbit keeping, it can be difficult to find advice that is practical, easy to understand, and relevant to the conditions where rabbits are actually being raised.
Some information is too technical for beginners.
Other advice may be written for completely different climates, housing systems, or farming conditions.
HomeOfRabbit.com is designed to bridge that gap.
I focus on practical rabbit care, small-scale rabbit farming, and climate-conscious rabbit keeping so that beginners, rabbit owners, and farmers can make better day-to-day decisions.
The aim is not to make rabbit keeping complicated.
It is to explain things clearly and help you understand why a particular practice matters.
What Makes HomeOfRabbit.com Different?
Every rabbit keeper develops knowledge through experience.
For me, years of keeping rabbits have provided an opportunity to learn from everyday situations—feeding, housing, breeding, handling, observing rabbit behavior, and dealing with the challenges that come with raising animals.
At HomeOfRabbit.com, I focus on three important areas:
Practical Experience
Rabbit keeping is hands-on.
The information I share is shaped by practical experience and the lessons that come from actually caring for rabbits.
Rather than simply repeating complicated information, I aim to explain rabbit care in a way that makes sense to someone who is keeping rabbits at home or starting a small rabbit farm.
Climate Considerations
Climate can have a major effect on how rabbits should be housed and managed.
Temperature, humidity, ventilation, shade, rain, and airflow can all affect rabbit comfort and overall management.
This is particularly important for rabbit keepers in warm and tropical climates, where housing and ventilation need careful consideration.
HomeOfRabbit.com takes these environmental factors seriously and aims to provide information that helps rabbit keepers adapt their management practices to their local conditions.
Beginner-Friendly Information
You shouldn’t need to be an experienced farmer to understand how to care for rabbits.
I write for people who may be keeping their first rabbit, starting a small rabbitry, expanding an existing operation, or simply trying to understand their animals better.
I explain topics as clearly as possible and focus on practical steps rather than unnecessary jargon.

Who HomeOfRabbit.com Is For
HomeOfRabbit.com is created for:
First-time rabbit owners who want straightforward information about caring for their rabbits.
Rabbit farmers looking for practical information about raising rabbits on a small scale.
Prospective rabbit keepers who want to understand what is involved before buying their first rabbits.
Small-scale meat producers interested in raising rabbits for meat.
Rabbit breeders looking for information about breeding, nesting, kindling, and raising kits.
Rabbit enthusiasts who simply want to understand rabbits better, including their behavior, communication, needs, and natural habits.
My Approach to Rabbit-Keeping Information
My approach is simple: practical information first.
Rabbit keeping is different from one location to another. Housing that works in one climate may need to be adapted somewhere else. Feeding practices can also depend on what is locally available.
That is why I believe rabbit owners should understand the principles behind good rabbit care rather than blindly following a single recommendation.
At HomeOfRabbit.com, I aim to explain the reasoning behind rabbit-keeping practices so you can make informed decisions based on your rabbits, your environment, and your goals.
When a topic requires professional veterinary or specialist advice, that should always take priority over general information found online.
Why You Can Trust HomeOfRabbit.com
HomeOfRabbit.com is built around real rabbit-keeping experience and practical education.
I have been keeping rabbits since 2018, and the lessons from that experience form an important part of the information shared on this website.
I also believe that good rabbit information should be continually improved.
Rabbit care is not about memorizing a fixed list of rules. Conditions vary, new information becomes available, and every rabbit keeper continues learning through experience.
Where appropriate, I use reliable sources and established animal-care information to complement practical experience.
The goal is always to provide information that is useful, understandable, and responsible.
My Commitment to Rabbit Owners
My commitment is to provide rabbit information that is:
- Practical — focused on things rabbit owners can actually apply.
- Clear — explained in straightforward language.
- Experience-based — informed by years of keeping rabbits.
- Climate-conscious — recognizing that environmental conditions matter.
- Beginner-friendly — useful even if you are just starting.
- Responsible — encouraging proper animal care and professional help when necessary.
