Rabbits are intelligent and social animals. Without attention and activities to keep him mentally alert, your rabbit can develop destructive habits, such as chewing carpet, to get your attention. Playing with your rabbit each day will give him the attention and mental challenge he needs to stay occupied and away from carpet chewing.  The mornings and evenings are good times to play with your rabbit. Do not interrupt your rabbit to start playing with him. For example, if he is eating or grooming, let him finish that activity before starting playtime. You can even leave the cage door open so he can come out to you when he’s finished and ready to play. When you play with your rabbit, get down on his level so he will feel comfortable with you. Although he may not necessarily want to jump in your lap, he will feel safer if you are not towering above him. Rabbits must have playtime outside of their cages each day. Not only does this give you an opportunity to interact with your rabbit, but it also gives him some much-needed exercise. Put a variety of toys in the play area, along with different items that your rabbit can dig in and chew on.  Always supervise your rabbit when he is playing outside of his cage.  ‘Rabbit-proof’ the area by removing or covering electrical cords and covering wooden furniture legs with plastic or bubble wrap.  Leaving a play area set up for your rabbit can keep him busy and physically active when you are away from home. Your rabbit may have the best toys in the world, but that doesn’t mean he should always play alone. Come up with different games that you can play with him. For example, play fetch with your rabbit, during which  you  are the one catching the toy.  Rabbits like to pick up toys with their teeth and toss them across the room with a flick of the head. Small toys for birds are good for playing fetch.  Try bowling with your rabbit. Purchase some plastic bowling pins and set them up in the play area. Your rabbit will enjoy knocking the pins down with his nose, and you will have fun watching him do it.  Let your rabbit ‘steal’ things out of your hand and run away with them. This may not seem like much a game, but it will certainly keep your rabbit entertained. Choose an object that you wouldn’t mind your rabbit stealing, such as a piece of junk mail. In addition to playing with you, your rabbit may also enjoy playing with another rabbit. Having another rabbit to play with could keep your rabbit from getting too bored or frustrated. If your rabbit doesn’t seem to enjoy playing as much as he used to, a rabbit playmate could help get him excited about playing again.  When you are looking to buy another rabbit, consider taking your rabbit along with you. Purchase the other rabbit through a shelter or rescue group rather than a pet store. Rabbits in pet stores typically come from mass-breeding facilities and can have digestive problems.  The staff at the rescue group or shelter can teach you how to introduce the rabbits and determine if they are a good match for each other.

Summary: Play with your rabbit regularly. Set up a play area for your rabbit. Play different games with your rabbit. Give your rabbit a playmate.


Rinse your potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt and grime. Use a vegetable peeler to thoroughly remove all of the potato skin. Once they are all peeled, chop them into chunks. They don't need to be perfectly or uniformly chopped, but just make sure the pieces are big enough to eat in one bite – or about 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) thick. Fill a pot about half way with water and bring it to a boil. The pot should be large enough to fit all of the potatoes with a couple of inches of space at the top to spare. Once the water is boiling, add the potato pieces. Continue to boil until they are tender, which should take about seven to eight minutes. Keep checking on them regularly, because it's crucial that they do not get too soft. You want them to become tender, but not fall apart. You do not want to wind up with mashed potatoes. Place your eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. They should be completely submerged, with water about an inch above them. Turn your stovetop to medium-high heat. Once the water starts to boil, remove the pot from the heat and let your eggs cook in the hot water for about eight to ten minutes. Once they are done cooking and have cooled, peel the shells off the eggs and dice them up. Learn the easiest ways to peel hardboiled eggs here! Once they are tender, drain the water by pouring the contents of the pot into a colander. Alternately, you can scoop up the potato chunks with a slotted spoon.  Put your potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Put the chopped eggs and potatoes into the refrigerator to chill. It's best to construct and season this salad after everything has cooled.

Summary: Peel and chop the potatoes. Boil the potatoes. Hard-boil the eggs while the potatoes cook. Drain your potatoes.


In the spring or early summer, start looking for plants that have plenty of new growth. You'll want to take cuttings from these plants because there will be a few different stems for you to pick from. New growth is generally easier to propagate than older growth because it has more “growing” cells that are reproducing rapidly. If you're just starting your garden and don't have any stock plants, visit a local nursery and ask if you'd be able to take a few cuttings of larger plants. Most of the time they'll let you if you take a small amount.  If you have friends, family, or neighbors growing the types of plants you want to propagate, you can always ask them for cuttings, too. Be very careful when transporting your cuttings. Place them in a plastic bag with a few drops of water or wrap the ends in a damp paper towel. Then put the bag in a box to prevent any bumping or crushing of the nodes. The plant should be large and healthy, so that cutting off a small amount won't cause it to die. It should also be free from pests, and non-flowering during the time of year that you're taking your cuttings. It's best to gather cuttings earlier in the morning when the plants are full of water. It will make it easier to cut and they'll be more likely to maintain their water when propagated.
Summary: Survey your garden for potential stock or “mother” plants. Visit a nursery if you don't currently have a garden. Select a stock plant to cut from.
