Quick card, full sheet, deep guide, or share / print
This sheet is the middle step. Drop to the quick card when attention is short, stay here when the topic needs a bigger surface, climb into the deep guide when you need the slower explanation, or step into share / print when it needs to be sent, saved, or printed.

Field use
Best when
A rabbit is new and the humans need a steadier first several days.
Spot first
Hay, water, droppings, retreat options, posture, and how much pressure the setup is creating.
Avoid
Crowding the rabbit with handling, visitors, photos, or constant rearranging.
Next move
If appetite or droppings drift, leave the welcome lane and move into the health watch lane sooner.
Use this for
Hold steady
Bring the basics back into view.
Set traction, hideouts, litter, hay, and water first.
Keep arrival quiet and easy to retreat from.
Have the carrier, contact plan, and house rules ready.
Treat the first days as observation, not performance.
Check now
Mark now
Short notes only. Catch the pattern.
Watch hay, water, droppings, posture, movement, and hiding.
Write what changed today.
Limit visitors, photos, child pressure, and pet pressure.
Build trust through choice and routine.
Course correction
Do not
These blur the signal.
Do not force cuddles, floor time, or introductions.
Do not mistake shutdown or stillness for comfort.
Do not keep resetting the setup out of human nerves.
If the pattern feels genuinely off, move from observation into safer action sooner, not later.
Notes
Today
Write enough for the next human.
