rabbit proof

I live in a fairly small studio apartment (~600sqft), and I’ve been lonely lately.

After much thought, a rabbit seems to be the best option. I want something cuddly and cute (so no reptiles!), while also being small enough to be able to raise in my studio apartment, and be independent enough to be left alone for several hours without any problems. I also don’t want any noise (like hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, etc.), and rabbits are, by their nature, very very quiet.

Think of my apartment in 4 equally sized boxes. Two boxes = living area, 1 box = kitchen, and the last box = bathroom. I was thinking of making the kitchen the rabbit’s general free roam area, since there are absolutely no exposed wires ("rabbit proof").

I can’t see any cons about a properly litter-trained rabbit. Pee and pooping will be handled by the litter box (which must be replaced, of course; at what frequency?), tendency to bite will be handled by toys (I’m assuming there has to be toys for this…?), and food will be general greens, with carrots as special treats. How expensive can it be (monthly cost, not the start-up cost, which will require a litter box, a bedding/sleeping area, and a room divider)?

I have just bought home a 2 year old male lop eared rabbit for my daughters birthday and would appreciate some advise
The lady i bought him off said he isnt castrated, does this make a difference to anything.
He is currently living like a king, he has everything he could possible want or need, and he has free run of the garden as it is totaaly enclosed, secure and rabbit proof. We do sit and watch him though.
But i return to work tomorrow and we are out the house till 4pm, so i am worried about him being cooped up till then, Could i leave his cage open so he can come and go while we are out or is he at danger from other animals?
Also, i saw rabbit shampoo in the pet shop, should you bathe them? Ive never heard of bathing rabbits before!!!
Would love any advise so we can do the best for our little man. Also what is the rabbits life expectancy?

I have a pet bunny that is 2 years old and he is very smart and I play with him for 2 hours everyday. He is potty trained and whenever he needs something he comes up and nudges me on the leg. I watch him and my house in bunny proof. Would it be alright to let him roam around? I also put down newspaper and he goes on that whenever he needs to go.

I’ve had seven rats throughout my life, but find their short lifespans heartbreaking. So, for my next pet, I was thinking of either 2 rabbits or 2 ferrets. I probably won’t get ferrets, because I can’t let them out 4 hours everyday, and ferret proofing seems nearly impossible. If I did get 2 ferrets, they’d be in this cage http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2753263, but if it is really bad for ferrets, I’d save for an FN 142. If I got rabbits, I’d house them in a 6×4 C&C/NIC cage, with maybe a couple of levels or so. I know a lot about ferrets, so for most of these questions I’d prefer a rabbit answer. And comparisons to rats would be nice.
1. How smart are they?
2. How cuddly? (not very from what I’ve heard, but just in case.)
3. How playful?
4. How much time out of cage?
5. What to feed? (not Marshall’s for ferrets, and like 80% timothy hay for rabbits, I think)
6. How Stinky?
7. What to put in their cage? (I’d like rabbit answers here.)
8. How to rabbit-proof?
If all else fails, I’ll continue with rats.

Please no rude answers.
Thank you!

I have two rabbits, a male and female. They are both house rabbits but have a bunny proof gate between each other. When both of them meet at the gate the male with grunt and the female will make soft little squeaks I guess. I really want to know what this means as she never made it before.

I got him yesterday, and in the pet shop he was peeing in one corner, but at home he’s in a cage (although I’ve only been closing it when I go to sleep) and he’s chosen a spot to pee in behind the door, so I can’t put the litter tray there. And he never pees in his cage! My mum’s saying if he isn’t litter trained as soon as possible, and if he’s still peeing on the carpet then we’ll either have to keep him in the garage-type-building, or get rid of him. I need some help so I can get him peeing in his cage asap! I know that the poop litter training comes afterwords, but tips for that too would be very helpful!

I live in the high desert area of So Cal and have MONSTER jack rabbits eating my lawn. Does anyone have any ideas that do not require death, poison, or electronics to get rid of these rabbits on "roids?"

I want to buy a small rabbit and I want to put it in the same cage as my two hens who are really friendly ones a silkie and the other a black hen that’s fairly small. I just wanted to know if it would be ok it’s a large cage with a lot of space for everyone and it’s on the ground and pretty rabbit proof as well.
