I had a pet rabbit in a small apt for 6 years while in college. It was very LOW MAINTENANCE. I never took it to the vet and don't ever remember bathing it. It never smelled and was litter trained. It slept in a crate and followed me around in the daytime. It played with my 80 pound dog and had a special chair where it sat and watched TV. It came to me when I called and would sit on my lap.

Visit your local shelter -- many have rabbits for adoption, and of those that do, most include spay/neuter in the adoption fee. It's typically much cheaper than going directly to a vet, plus you'll be helping out a rabbit who needs a home.

Its more high maintenance than a dog. A rabbit should have an annual check up, should never be bathed unless its a bum bath for an old or ill rabbit, needs its litterbox changed every or every other day to prevent urine scald, needs to be fed hay multiple times a day. And why is your bunny no longer alive? How long did it live? why do you call it an it?

Totally amazing how many people are on here thinking they know everything about rabbits when they blatantly dont! As a rabbit rescue its hard for me to read comments like "rabbits dont need hay all of the time". A rabbits diet should be made up of 80% hay. They should have thier body size in fresh hay every day as they need they are fibrevores meaning they need a high fibre diet. Without hay how can they get that? Please, please, please do your research! !
@michaeltherabbitgod290610 жыл бұрын
That's somewhat pretentious of a comment in the sense of "Totally amazing how many people are on here thinking they know everything about rabbits when they blatantly dont!" I've had an entire colony of rabbits, and their diet was made up of grass, carrots (Shhhhh.), and salads with many foods rabbits are ensured to have. They started as smaller than my hand, and they grew to be even bigger then both of my hands when I handled them. Plus, a majority of them in the wild just eat grass, or whatever is accessible. True, hay is a healthy for them, but it is not a need, just something some people discovered to help them grow faster, or help their digestive track. And yet, my colony had a diet of grass, assorted approved vegetables. And they all grew to a large size, in a short period of time. (They grew twice their size in 4 months. Some even to that giant rabbit in one of these videos. And they started out smaller than my palms.) Then again, my rabbits were in an outdoor pen, conditions might have been different.

Zoe Cunniffe Lol, because wild rabbits and domesticated rabbits totally the same, right? Sorry, but since when do you see black and white, spotty, plain black, plain white, honey coloured, rabbits in the wild. Oh wait, you don't. Because they have been domesticated and have been bred to have those colours, if they had those colours in the wild, they wouldn't last a day. That's just one example of how wild and domesticated rabbits differ. They are not the same. They can't cope with the same conditions. If you have done even the slightest research on rabbits you would know that. Rabbits don't "know" that a "fox has to eat", it's called evolution. You obviously know nothing about rabbits. The Lion King? Seriously? What are you like 8 years old?

*Sorry for any grammar errors.* My rabbits have been outside there whole lives, and they love it. They have the whole garden to them self's and are put away at night. My rabbit brave lived until 10 years of age and was always outside roaming the garden until her death of old age. Now, Screwloose is outside and loves it. She get the exercise she needs, spends the whole day in the garden with a open hutch (with is huge and has lots of space inside) if she wants to relax, until i put her away for the night. I feed her with lots of great healthy foods. Its good to have a variety. She has no furniture or wires in there way or to chew on. Yes, it can be safer inside. But is can also be safe outside if done properly, with a high fencing, lush grass and lots of space. Rabbits will always be an outside animal. wild or not. They need lots of exercise and being outside with a garden for them selves is amazing. Shes has an amazing coat of fur, (becuase shes bathed but shes grooms her self really well) shes fleaed and fly sprayed, and has never had a parasite, same goes to my deceased 10 year old rabbit Brave. I love my rabbits to be a natural as possible but well handled, which Screwloose is. She never bites and is stress free from loud noises indoors. I'm not saying an indoor rabbit is bad, but i prefer rabbit being outside *NOT CONTENTEDLY IN A HUTCH* roaming the garden until put in there hutch at night, covered and safe. And im sick and tired of people saying, "an outdoor rabbit are going to die, or is asking for early death." My rabbits have always been outside there whole lives and lived happy healthy, living 10 years and over. As i said, if done well, rabbits *CAN* live outside.

He resisted the bonding at first but now he looks for her whenever he wants to snuggle and relax. He also looks for me whenever he runs around the house. I have to encourage him to go and play but he shows a preference to lie down next to me and watch tv. ha ha =^^=

I would just like to say that I think it's ridiculous and unacceptable that you have you go out and hunt down (so to speak) specialists for not just bunnies, but any smaller pets like hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, what have you; yes, lots of people have dogs and cats, but lots of people have bunnies too, and they need medical attention just like dogs and cats do. Five years ago, my seven-year-old bunny was DYING, so I took her to an animal hospital (not just a regular vetenary office, but an animal hospital), and they turned her away because they didn't have any vets who specialized in bunny care. WHAT KIND OF AN ANIMAL HOSPITAL CAN'T TAKE CARE OF A DYING BUNNY?! Matter of fact, a few months early, she had an ulcerated tumor on her tummy, and I had to leave town because the only animal hospital capable of operating on her was clear in another town. Unfortunately, her tumor turned out to be cancerous, which is why she had additional smaller tumors inside her dewlap, and crystals in her bladder, which is why she was dying; she could have been medicated, but that wouldn't have stopped the suffering she was going through, so as much as I hated to, I had to let her go so she wouldn't suffer anymore, and I loved her so much. Still, as I said, animals like bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other such small animals are more common as pets as people might think, and as such, I think these so-called "specialists" that are needed to treat these kinds of animals should be more readily available at any nearby vetenary office, clinic, hospital, etc. so that whenever medical emergencies arise, as did in my case, you can find someone somewhere who can help you little pet, and not have to search frantically all over town, only to be given, "Uh, well, bunnies are 'exotic' animals, so they really need a 'specialist', and we don't have anyone here who specializes in bunnies..."

Maybe more common than thought, but not nearly as common as dogs and cats. 2012 statistics say that in the U.S. there are approx. 1.4 million households that have rabbits in them, compared to the 43 million households with dogs and 36 million households with cats. 43 to 1 is still way more than people think, but is it really enough to justify a rabbit specialist in every animal hospital/vet office?

You might have had better luck taking them to a farm vet. Domestic rabbits may be kept as pets now but most breeds were developed as livestock, and are still kept for meat and fur, so many farm vets know more about their care than the ones that specialize in pets. Just don't expect much by way of bedside manor. They know their stuff but they're used to dealing with livestock not "furry children".
@RobertDrescher9 жыл бұрын
Well, we're lucky too, having a rabbit specialist just 10 minutes away. That doesn't help the fact though that he developed an inoperable tumor as well and he's not even four. We bring him to a check-up every 6 months, in spring nothing was there and all of a sudden, there's that growth on his colon. I get your complaints and more than the lack of specialists it annoys me that a regular check-up for "exotics" costs almost twice what a cats check-up costs. But think of the variety of animals kept as pets these days, it's impossible to educate vets for every possible animal there is.

Based on experience, I disagree with the part about small apartments. Compared to, for example, a golden retriever, you can get by with a lot less space. You don't need a large yard. In fact, you don't need any yard. As long as you're willing to sacrifice space for a nice big large cage. That's the challenge. Then giving them the run of your (rabbit-proofed) living room during play time is usually enough. As long as they have some areas big enough for running, and the freedom to explore everywhere else. In our smallest apartment, we had one bedroom and less than 600 square feet. I never ate at the table, so I basically used the "dining room", which was basically the corner between the living room and kitchen, to put her cage and store some tubs of yarn. There was space in the middle for her to hang out. After that, I rabbit proofed the L-shaped living room, dining room and kitchen for her enjoyment. I even kept the bedroom a "bunny-free" zone. I guess the key is to be willing to share your space. Really, if you aren't sharing your space, no matter how big your house is, you're probably missing out on a lot of interaction. My bunny would run around my feet when I was standing up. lean against my feet while I was working on the computer or knitting, follow me to the kitchen, take naps under the coffee table, take her dinner in the "dining room" and run around the kitchen floor. Even when my apartment was cluttered, I had room to get on the floor with her. So I guess "too small" is relative. If a room is truly "too small" for your bunny, it's probably too small for you to live in.

I live in a small apartment, and I've done pretty much the same things you mentioned. I set up a pen in one half of the kitchen, but then I also rabbit-proofed the whole main room, and I let her out every day. She loves to run back and forth on the rug or hop up on the couch with me.

I have a Holland Lop that is a little over 2 years old now. He is my first pet rabbit and honestly, it isn't that hard to take care of them. They are a lot smarter than people think. Its very easy to train and teach them as long as you actually put the time in when they are young. When he was a baby I would take him out of his cage multiple times a day to walk around and explore the room/house. After a while I would just leave the cage open and he would go in and out whenever he wanted. After about 6 months I put the cage up and now my room is his "cage" because he liked to be out and about instead. I leave him out in my room all day when I'm at work and he doesn't cause any problems.Now he is very calm and people friendly. Anytime someone comes over he will run up to them and stand up on his back feet or run around them in circles to try to play.People who think rabbits aren't like any other normal house pets don't know what they are talking about, or they don't put the time in to teach them the correct way. If you are thinking of getting a rabbit, i recommend going to a breeder not the pet store. That way you can get 1 when it is 8 weeks old which is just old enough to leave the mother that way you are the first person they will get attached to and won't be scared of you. ALSO, DONT BE LOUD AND YELL AT THEM TO TRY AND TEACH THEM OR THEY WILL GET SCARED AND SKITTISH!

People are often surprised when they see a bunny acting like a cat or dog. Perhaps it's because they don't know how rabbits express themselves. I think some of this is because rabbits' eyes are on the sides of their heads, leading to other myths. The "bobbing head" thing they do allows them to get a better understanding of depth perception. Because of their eyes' positions, humans grow up seeing beings, cartoons, etc involving animal characters with eyes and other features being more similar to a human's. When they see the real thing, they don't always know what to expect, even if they don't think about it much. Unfortunately, some people just don't think rabbits can be as smart as cats and dogs because they're not as commonly seen in person and because these quiet herbivores have different ways of expressing themselves.

Agree with most of them but not the outdoors one. In my experience, indoor rabbits live much shorter lives. Naturally, my rabbit grows a winter coat which keeps him perfectly warm in extreme weathers. I make sure he is occupied throughout the day and let him graze on the grass outdoors. Indoors, he would be bored stiff. He does not interact with any toys I have bought him and sometimes there are simply no people around to interact with him if he were indoors. Perhaps I regret not getting him a friend to have fun with, but I don't regret keeping him outside. He is nearly 10 years old and the vet is always amazed by his impeccable health.

I had my beloved dwarf bunny for 6 years and than he died of a disease, carried by mice. I had to move him in another building in our back yard (we thought it would be better for him - he had more space), but as it turns out - mice found their way to his food and contaminated it. When he died it was like I lost a child. Heartbreaking! And I have to admit I felt great guilt! "Out of site, out of mind" is so ture!! When we moved him I only went to see him once a day... So if you're thinking of adopting a rabbit bear in mind - at first they poop like EVERYWERE, they are very social and LOVE company, they are NOT a squeeze toy and only tolerate petting, great fun to play with - just give them a newspaper and watch them go!, this furball will nestle so deep in your heart you won't belive! Good luck! :)

There are a few simple things you can do at home - if the bunny is overheated (that happens A LOT!) just grab a damp, cool rug, turn on a vent or something and in a few minutes he will strat hopping again. If the bunny isn't eating and seem lethargic give him some camomile tee instead of water. This would make him feel better but a vet visit with a sick bunny is a MUST.

There is a one thing that is not a myth with rabbits. I will give it straight to you. Rabbits are magical creatures. They can bestow great luck to you if you treat them right and cater to them properly. One day I took my rabbit out and gave him bananas and carrots. Then took him out for a walk in a grassy corral area. The next day an old friend called me and asked me if I wanted his sailboat because he can no longer take care of it and had to go to the west coast. This was no ordinary boat but a 30' S&S blue water sailboat fully equipped. I could go on and tell you other things that has happened as a result of treating my lionhead rabbit correctly and you would not believe me. In fact when I tell my friends they laugh at me. But meanwhile I have a great job, excellent health, great friends and many material things.
@kaetyodell46589 жыл бұрын
As a rabbit breeder and showman I disagree with many of these "myths". Most of these things depend on breed and where they are kept. Mine are kept outside as they can easily die of heat stroke. They shouldn't be kept in a flat bottom cage. It should be wire bottom. They should have 1 cup of pellets a day depending on size. They also should not be treated or given fresh grass. They also should not be given baths.

Okay that with the outdoors is better for rabbits "myth" isn't really taken from the point of the rabbit, for their health it is way better to keep them outside, with proper care! But a child that forgets their pet just because it ain't in the house isn't even ready to have a pet at all. And no, not all kids are like that at all. I did go through rain and snow to care for them. Even helped building the cage with my family so it would be warm, big enough and having a good air circulation. The air in doors ain't the best for rabbits at all. But that can also be affected by where you live. In places where the weather changes rapidly this might not apply. Our weather does change, but it never changes drastically from one extreme to the other. So around here they can adapt and even stay healthier because of it. If you take a rabbit in your care that didn't originate from your part of the world and never did life outside there.... I wouldn't recommend it either.

If there was such thing around the last years. It goes pretty steady up or down at my area. But then again, we build an cage meant to be warm even if it snows outside and be protected enough when it rains. I don't know if most of the purchasable cages would really have worked as good as those.

I understand your point but sometimes it is truly best to keep them inside. If they are inside you can take them out and let them run around your house and cuddle with you. And inside cages are movable so you can move it outside and them play in a pen in your backyard. While a hutch isn't movable and you can hardly interact with your rabbit, especially if you can't hold it. But if you have it inside then it can experience both indoors and out. That's what I did with mine, and he lived up to 14 years :)

I had two rabbits as a child and they were quite sweet, but I was really young and I don't remember much about their care. I'm also half blind and have ADHD. I wanted to get a rabbit because they're very loving and silly. Plus, I've been wanting a friend since my beloved cat Max has been gone. It's either going to be a cat or rabbit.

This lady here on Howcast, and also episodes of "The Incredible Dr Pol" on animal planet are great info for rabbit owners or future rabbit owners. They really do need daily care, habitat cleaning, socializing, appropriate chew toys, constant food and water supply and making sure to monitor that they DO eat on time. One of my friends had a senior rabbit she had for over 9 years, so lifespan and also the possibility of rodent cancers, bacterial infections, or dental problems needs to be taken into consideration when finding an exotic vet for annual checkups. Wise to do research ahead of time to make sure you have the time and money to devote to care and a large enough enclosure for them.

RC Dragons Well your rabbits have to be interested in treats to be able to teach them easily, but for spin you get the treat and make sure your rabbits attention is on it. Then spin the treat around the rabbit so they follow it round and soon they will get faster and faster until you can just hold up the treat and it will spin. For the walking on hind legs just hold the treat up until they get on their hind legs and then move it forward. It takes a bit more practice than spin though. They will eventually get it if you are consistent with the training but don’t train for too long or they’ll get bored and lose interest

DexGypMom Thanks for the advice. I miss owning a rabbit and hopefully I'll have another soon.

I'm 11 I had my rabbit when he was a baby now he is 6 and I have never lost intrest in him and I look after him and my dog so the fact that children lose intrest after a few weeks is a myth

Emma Grocott Hi Emma: You are a wonderful bunny & puppy mom and I wish there were a million more of you in every state. I bet your mom and/or dad or another special person in your life taught you the importance of caring properly for all companion animals. And if by chance, you were born with this gift of compassion for all living things, it is so incredible because your children will learn by watching you how to correctly and passionately care for their companion animals. Keep up the good work, Emma, you are doing a marvelous job. ☮

Cool im 11 to and I have a cute little rabbit and he is only 4 and I make sure he gets his baths and food and definitely a lot of cuddles, also I have do adorable chickens, and to beautiful ducks, and a very sweet cat and I love them with all of my heart. Oh and Emma we need to protect all the wonderful amazingly beautiful creatures on this planet. For EXAMPLE: on Monday I seen this kitten and mother crossing the street and the car was going a little fast but I walked in front of the cat and the kitten and stoped the car so they wouldn't get hert. We need to keep helping animals. TRULY YOURS ALESSANDRA

Got my first bunny when I was like 11. Never lost interest. I am 26 now and I turned my garden into a rabbit fortress. Pretty sure they're happy. : D

Both our bunnies stand up and ask to be picked up and when sitting on the bed or couch they sit on us. We have also had them since they left their mom. We LOVE our bunnies, they are the best pets!!!!

What about the myth that you should lift a rabbit by its back skin.
@Annikagf6 жыл бұрын
This comment is old but it's the only one of this kind I can see at the top of the comment section so I'll answer it because it's still really important. To be straight - you shouldn't. First it hurts them because you lift their weight up by a in comparison way too little fixation point and second when you hold them like that and they start to panic and fidget and you let them fall, they can suffer serious injuries like fractures. There are also videos and websites on how to lift a bunny in the right way which you can easily look up :)

I would have to disagree on some of it. Rabbits are not high maintenance. My rabbits are checked on twice a day and they don't always run around. You don't need to clean there cage everyday every other day is just fine with me.Also I never had to take my rabbits to vet. They are healthy. I have 2 bunnies and more on the way on Valentines day :)

She's most likely saying this because they are sometimes looked at as another hamster in the house before realizing they actually need attention. People are really trying to discourage the whole "Easter rabbit gift thing".

Never use personal experience as your marker for what is fact or not - especially when you don't have much experience to begin with. I've volunteered at a vet who was rabbit savvy and I can't tell you the number of rabbits brought in for having problems because they were overweight and never exercised, or because their teeth were overgrown because of a lack of chew toys, or because they had sore hocks because people kept them in tiny, wire bottomed cages. If you want to compare personal experiences, my rabbit had an abscess that needed constant attention at the age of _2_, which required lots of visits to my vet. They have diseases, illnesses and psychological problems like every other animal on this planet. You and your bunnies are not the standard. Rabbits ARE very high maintenance if you are a responsible pet owner and take every precaution to make sure they have a better chance of living out their full life expectancy.

Melanie Tharman you don't know internally what is happening........you know if you neuter or spay them it greatly reduces the risk of ovarian cancer etc.......also there teeth need to be trimmed to or it could be blocked up and cause them not to be able to eat....I only originally thought that the front teeth were the only concern but the vet said there are back teeth that also need trimming that just hay eating or wood chewing doesn't fix

I actually keep my 3 rabbits outside. But they have a very protective run for harsh weathers. We also open up the back garden door for them hourly so they can come into the living room we bond with them everyday and live a very happy and healthy life
