How much would getting a Rabit cost total?

Question

I'm thinking about getting a small animal like a hampster or something. All i need to know really is how much they cost total including the cage. Also, any tips or help page on how to raise it correctly would be great. Thanks!

Answer 1

Look here for lots of care tips: http://www.rabbit.org/.  The rabbit and the initial setup will be relatively minor expenses compared to ongoing care and vet bills.  A rabbit will cost between $20-$100, usually.  A cage that is properly sized for a rabbit will run you between about $100 (if you build it yourself and have all the tools and buy only the materials) and $400 (for a properly sized commercially made cage).  98% of pet store cages are WAY too small for even one very small rabbit.  As for feeding and upkeep, take what you would spend on a dog in terms of food, vet care, etc and double it.  That's about what it costs to keep a rabbit properly and provide it with vet care so it can live a long and happy life (10 years +, up to 20 years).

Answer 2

well when we got our rabbit, it was $20 for the rabbit, $80-100 for the cage, plus bedding, toys, litter box, food and water dishes, etc. Plus food for however long it lives....

Answer 3

to adopt an already spayed/neutered rabbit is betw/ 50-100 dollars.

to buy at a petstore or breeder AND spay/neuter yourself is anywhere from 200-400 dollars.

i use an xpen for my bunnies.  75 dollars each.  commercial cages are too small.  do not use them, they are a waste of money.

initial supplies (dishes, bottle, litterboxes, etc.) about 40-50 dollars.

the real cost comes in the monthly upkeep and vet care.  for two rabbits i spend 150 dollars a month on litter (40lb bag per month), pellets, hay, 80 dollars worth of fresh vegetables, and nail trims at the vet for both.

i am considering pet insurance, which would be an extra 250 a year for both.

Answer 4

well

my rabit cost 20 from a adoption center. (sprayed)

and i made the hutch, so it didn't cost very mcuh

uh the toys/food/bedding cost like 30 alltogether or around 20-40

but then you have to get it again, when it runs out

i use newpaper for my bedding, it isn't very absorbent and it smells... but... yeah

Answer 5

Well for a rabbit from a breeder or at a fair it will be any where from 10 - 35 dollars. Depending on the size of the rabbit and if you get a cage from someone who makes them they will be anywhere from 35- 80 dollars. Food in 50 lbs bags at a feedmill is 15 dollars, pine bedding is 10 dollars for a big bas from a feedmill. Chew sticks are 6 dollars a pack , toys are generally 3 - 5 dollarsm, treats are about 4.50, Timothy hay in a small bag is 3.49 and i na big bag 7.50. Alfalfa is 7.50. Now a rabbit from a pet store is generally 35 dollars and up to 150 dollars. Cages from a store are 100 dollars and up. Rabbits do not need  to be spayed or neuterd , and  they don't require trpis to the vet for check ups or shots . The only time you need to take them is if you notice something unusual. Food bowls are generally 4 dollars , and large water bottles are 4.50.  Rabbits sometimes smell but only if you don't take care of them properly.
