   Hello, I'm new to Hub and I just published my first article. I was looking for some feedback as to what I can do differently to improve my hub.
   
   Thanks!

      You have almost invoked a rabbit frenzy on my part. However, I will desist. I like rabbits.
      
      As to my quick scan of your hub, looks good. But need to stick a "be" in "My rabbit does not like to carried down the steps". All is well.

   OK here we go - don't take this negatively:
   
   1) Title - just do a search on Google - there are a lot of sites that will come up before yours - try using Google Adwords to find a title that is unique but searchable. Also - when using Adwords, Handling your rabbit comes up with hardly any 'potential' views - so even if your article is great, you're unlikely to get much traffic. Try something that combines a couple of searchable phrases :
   
   Caring for Rabbits - Holding a Rabbit
   
   This has two key phrases that both get some traffic - you not only are more visible but you've also hit a different search term.
   
   2) Pictures - people love pictures - add a lot of pictures of your rabbit - add suitable descriptions and don't forget to add the source - in this case you...
   
   3) Introduction - you jump straight into the aritcle - why not explain why careful handling is important first.
   
   4) Headings - you have a couple of searchable phrases and this is good - the Handling Safety could be changed to Rabbit Handling Safety.
   
   5) Make your hub more interactive and fun - add some polls; add some facts (Use a text box and right justify it - then color it) - Did you know..... etc..
   
   6) You added a section 'Cutting your rabbits nails' - this isn't relevant to the article as it's about Holding your rabbit. Either remove this and create a hub: How to cut a Rabbits nails safely (or something like that) and then interlink them or create a much larger hub:
   
   "How to take care of a rabbit"
   
   You could then have sections for:
   Feeding a rabbit
   Cutting a rabbit's tail
   Holding a rabbit
   What to do when a rabbit gets older
   Suitable housing for a rabbit
   
   etc.
   
   OK - sorry to be so critical! You have good writing skills and great potential to produce great hubs. Take a look at some of the top writers on here and see how they organize their hubs, how detailed they get and how they link several hubs together.
