Answer 2

My friend had the cutest bunny ever, but sadly they got rid of him because they didn't want to take care of him anymore ((they had just gotten kittens!)) He loved to chew so they put a Quaker Oats container in there ((without the covers and paper)) the bunny would hide in there and chew on the sides! he loved it! They had a kinda small cage, but they let him hop around there basement a lot. It might also be helpful to go to wikiHow.com and search how to take care of a bunny. good luck! bunnies are awesome!

Answer 5

first of all they really are a handful first of all they need something to chew on make sure that if you are keeping it outside make sure the cageing is small enough so that animals dont get in and always make sure it has hay

Answer 6

They LOVE to chew!!! :) get a cardboard tube........mine loves to chew on it!!!!!! :)

Answer 7

Just about everyone has had great info here!

Make sure you get something like CareFresh for their bedding, pine/cedar isn't really good for small animals. I would also second getting one from a shelter, and having him/her spayed/neutered. Even if you don't have another rabbit, a speutered bunny is a happy bunny, and a healthier one. Make sure you have a good vet who has rabbit knowledge.

Answer 8

Let Them Live in a Hutch in The Summer and Bring Them inside in The Winter ... Bring Them in When There Are major Holidays Because Rabbit's Get Heart Attacks Due To Fireworks ... Good Tip To Remember

Answer 9

i used to raise bunnies so ....

  well you don't need a huge huge cage but they like to hop around so use your judgement.

the bedding should be wood chips but not to think...

hamster bedding works well.

they like to chew on small blocks of wood ... it helps there teeth.

always keep fresh water availiable to them

and as for the temp.

cool but not freezing.

Answer 10

well they really are not that hard to take care of, but when you get your bunny you could bring it to the vet to get it checked out just to make sure it is healthy and the vet can give you a lot of good info about bunnies

Answer 11

Research!

http://www.rabbit.org/ is a very good and comprehensive source of information. It's up-to-date and more accurate than some other sites.

A few basics:

- Get your rabbit spayed or neutered! Even if you only have one, it has beneficial effects on their behavior and health. An altered rabbit is a better pet.

- Make sure they have a big enough cage, and make sure they get plenty of out-of-cage exercise time. Most of the rabbit cages sold in pet stores are too small for even dwarf rabbits. A rabbit cage needs to be tall enough for the rabbit to stand up in, and big enough for the rabbit to hop several times in each direction. My dwarf rabbit has a pen that is 5 by 4, and he gets to run around the whole upstairs of the house when people are home.

- Litter train. It makes cleaning the cage and giving the rabbit free time much, much easier. I used paper-based litter in the litterbox topped with a layer of hay. For the rest of the cage, I just put down a fleece blanket. Whatever you do, avoid pine, cedar, and clay cat litter.

- A proper diet is a must - provide plenty of fresh timothy hay to adult rabbits. Babies can get alfalfa, but it's too high in calories and calcium for adults. Limit the amount of pellets they eat - they can be fattening. My dwarf rabbit only gets 1/8 cup of pellets a day. Vegetables are also an important part of a rabbit's diet. The amount you feed depends on how big the rabbit is.

- Keep your rabbit entertained with lots of playtime and toys. Rabbit toys aren't expensive - my rabbit prefers paper bags and cardboard boxes.

- Adopt rather than get a rabbit from a pet store or "backyard breeder." Check http://www.petfinder.com/ for rabbits in shelters in your area. The advantages of shelter rabbits include better socialization, better health (most are already spayed or neutered), and, if you get an adult rabbit, you won't have to go through the "teenager" stage with them. Also, you'll save a life!
