Are rabbits good pets?

Question

i want to get a bunny rabbit but my parents arent sure--are they easy to train? does anyone ever have a problem with cages being too small?

Answer 1

No,at all.

Answer 2

Bunny rabits are very good pets because the can be insidde potty trained and they are normally calm between dawn and dusk.

Answer 3

no my bunny will run to you whenever you go by his cage, stand up, and sit. no theyre not easy to train at all. i dont have a problem with a small cage, i put him in the corner of my room and put a large bag on the ground and put hay on it and fenced it in. and i change it every week. i spray it with frebreeze every day too so it doesnt smell. ive had him for 3 years. for exercise, we fenced everywhere in our yard since we have a 20 acre yard, and just let him run around for about half an hour every other 2 days

Answer 4

Answer 5

i dont recommend reabbits they r not really fun and can be quite a handful wit cleaning and cage size... i say get a dog or a cat which are much more fun and easier 2 train,

Answer 6

Well I have had many many rabbits. They are better as an outdoor since they tend to get dirty bathroom habbits, like sitting in their p**p and yeah. But where do you live? Bunnies are cute, but they are very dirty and they smell. Be sure you really want a rabbit, I would recommend istead of a bunny get a ferret.

Answer 7

I had a pet rabbit for about 14 years and it made a good pet. I never tried to train it because I pretty much kept it in it's cage most of the time. I did take it outside for exercise periodically. It is nice to have a larger cage though. It should be at least large enough for the rabbit to move around comfortably in. Just make sure to clean the cage at least weekly.

I kept mine in it's cage at least 99% of the time and didn't have much trouble with it. I thought it made a great pet. You just have to have the patience with it just like you have to have the patience for any other pet.

Answer 8

well yeah, but no. they are so quiet and sometimes boring. id rather a dog.

Answer 9

Answer 10

House rabbits are great: http://www.rabbit.org/

They make great pets if you keep them indoors and interact with them rather than stick them in an outdoor hutch 24/7 like the other posters suggest. They don't smell if they are neutered.

Answer 15

i have two bunnies i have a big cage though and they are fun to play with there not much trouble

Answer 16

I used to have 2 rabbits, and the only part i did not enjoy about it was cleaning the cage. it also smells terrible. Also, if you plan on letting your bunny run around in a room, make sure to baby proof any cords, because they are rather smart, and like to get into things ;)

Answer 17

Bunnies are really nice, active, and fun to play with.

Bunnies are easy to take care of.

Answer 18

most rabbits are good pets as long as u r okay with cleaning the cage like once or twice a week and u have to make sure they always have food

Answer 19

Mine died :[

Answer 20

I don't think they are good pets until you are really committed for the following reasons:

1)  Potty-training is either difficult or impossible.

2)  Rabbits MUST be let out of their cage daily, either in a safe room or a totally enclosed area in the yard (like a big, big cage).

3)  Rabbits MUST have a cage that is large enough for them to freely move about and explore.  At the very minimum, the cage should be 10x the size of the rabbit with two stories.  Would YOU want to be cooped up in a cage all day?

4)  Rabbits are high-energy animals and p**p constantly.  The p**p must be picked up at least every other day to eliminate smell and keep the rabbit from getting sick.

5)  Rabbits eat a lot as high-energy animals.

6)  Rabbits must be provided with toys, which are generally expensive, and which may be chewed up and have to be replaced every week to month.
