Can i keep a pet rabbit inside?

Question

I'm thinking of getting a pet rabbit- I don't have a garden, so is it ok to keep it inside? Will it smell?

Answer 1

yes.

in rabbit keeping,owners have two choices:

indoor rabbits or outdoor rabbits.

most owners prefer indoor rabbits as being indoors,you can monitor your rabbit every day.you also have more time in playing with it and the rabbit will be more accustomed to you and your house.but of course,this post quite a danger seeing that there are wires and other dangerous equipments indoors and the rabbit could hurt itself and die....

outdoor keeping post also a risk to the health seeing that you cannot keep protect it from weather and possible predators at all times.outdoor keeping is usually for beeders who use their garden or lawn as a raising ground for rabbits.

as for the smell,don't worry.all you have to do is to clean the cage once a week and you won't have a problem.proper caring is suggested when keeping rabbit indoors.

i hope i helped!

Answer 2

I think if you want to get one you could put it in a cage and then put it in the garage

Answer 3

Not only can you, it's better for them! It won't smell if you clean the cage at least once a week like you should. You can also litter train them.

I keep my rabbit inside. He's litter trained and not smelly at all if I clean his litter box frequently.

I keep him in a pen at night, and he roams the house during the day. I consider him a better house pet than my cats - he's more personable and affectionate, and he doesn't shred my curtains.

If you get a rabbit, make sure you get it spayed/neutered - it makes them easier to litter train, friendlier, healthier, and cuts down on sexual aggression.

Keeping rabbits in outdoor cages really isn't ideal anyway - it may be "tradition," but as more and more people are finding out, rabbits have great PERSONALITIES that really only come out when they live inside with a family. They aren't just furry lumps, they're wonderful, interactive pets.

It's the HOUSE Rabbit Society, and they've got lots of great information on keeping rabbits indoors - housing, diet, "rabbit-proofing," etc.

i've had 3 bunnies and i kapt all of them inside. they do get smelly so you have to ckean out their cages regularly, which unfortunatly is a big jog. my dad and i did biuld an outdoor hutch, just on the ground and we would move it around the yard so they got some fresh grass to eat. you might want to get a harnas and leash to take it outside :)

Answer 6

Of Course You Can But Just Make Sure You Let Them Out Sometimes Otherwise They Will Feell They Have Been Locked Up In A Prison Or Something. It Is Mucky But You Have To Clean Their Cages Out When It Gets Dirty.. Which Is Quite A Lot.
