    I reflect you need to go do your own research. If you are being paid a pet you need to care enough to do this your self. you can buy basic care books at Petco or Petsmart or check them out of the library. Go for it and have a lot of fun with your rabbit.

    Well they can live indoors or out, they can be litter trained, can eat lots of things like carrots, lettuce, rabbit food, grass, dandelions, etc. Just do not feed them ice burg lettuce becuase they can’t digest it and they will die.

    They require HUGE cages (most excellent rabbit owners
    use those puppy playpens), and female/female or ALTERED (AKA spayed AND neutered) male/female pairs. Two unaltered bucks can fight after puberty. SOMETIMES two ALTERED males will work.
    They can be litter trained (DO NOT use reg. kitty litter. USE something paper based like yesterdays news) which is why many people chose, instead, to have house rabbits (they bun proof the house)
    don’t get freaked if they eat their own poo, they do this so they can get all the nutrients from their food as possible, kind of like digesting it a following time.
    I learned from owning buns that this activity will slow down if you feed 1 papaya tablet a day. Mine absolutely LOVED them.

    Edit:
    Thats right, rabbits are not rodents, they are lagomorphs.
    Rodents can hold things with their front paws.
    Lagomorphs can not.
    DO NOT mix species! G.Pigs require a COMPLETELY uncommon diet than buns. If you house them together there is no way to tell who is eating what. And one feed may make the other species ill!
    Doing something like this is absolutely irresponsible!

    I have one – he pees all over and also sprays pee at you when he’s upset with you- He also poops all over. you need to clean their cages at least once a week or it’ll smell horrible. It needs timothy hay, and mine likes carrot, along with some rabbit pellets. Look up on google rabbit care or get a book. and also be set!

    go to a feed store and buy a bale of timothy hay (like what they give to horses) and give that to your bunny it only costs liek 10 dollars and its surpass then buying a small bag of hay for the same price.

    I like rabbits. I have three. Get a Netherland Dwarf. They are really friendly and they are the smallest breed. Only in this area 2.5 pounds full grown. Get them a cage with a wire bottom then all you have to do is clean out the tray. Make sure they always have water. I feed them Nutriphase Rabbit Food. They like it. Also always have Timothy Hay available. Get a hay holder so that the hay isn’t kept on the floor. You can also give them fruits and veggies a couple of times a week. Don’t overdo it. I keep a wood chew in their cage because their teeth are always growing. I also give them time out of their cage with supervision of course. Have fun. You will like having a rabbit.

    well initially of all you have to influence whether the rabbit will be an indoor rabbit or outdoor..x
    rabbit= £26 uk
    indoor cage= £35- £45 uk
    outdoor cage= £40- £130 uk
    water bottle= £2.50- £4.50 uk
    food bowl= £2.99- £3.99 uk
    food= £3- £4.50 uk
    hay= £1.99- £2.99 uk
    toys= £2.50- £7.99 uk
    you have to let the rabbit out for at leat 2 hours a day..x if you are being paid an indoor rabbit make sure there is nothing left lying around otherwise the rabbit will chew on it..x they will chew anything, mine once chewed through the freeview wire so we only got channels 1,2,3,4 and 5..x they have to be fed one handful of food a day..x make sure you change their water everyday even if there is still some in there..x they should be given fresh hay everyday and after a couple of months you can even try feeding him some fresh vegetables like carrot etc..x be careful though some vegetables are poiseness to a rabbit..x and dont give him too many vegetables 3-4 slices of carrot a day is enough..x you should clean out your rabbits cage once a week..x make sure you play with your rabbit everyday for at least half an hour- 12 hours lol..x they need as much like as possible..x excellent luck..x ohhh… and make sure you leave the rabbit for at least a day previous to being paid him out of his cage and handling him as they can have a fit and unfortunatly die..x other than that, have a excellent time..x
