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.

For some reason he started 2 bite me and a whiz and poop on the floor. He has his on I guess you can say room that’s rabbit proof and he used to run up to me and against my feet but lately he doesn’t do anything except hide. So please HELP.thank you
I’m going to get a rabbit for my birthday this year but i would like to know a few things i need to consider before i get one e.g which breeds are least aggressive and can be cuddled, what type of cage i would need to get, do i need to get more than one, what foods do they like, how do i fox proof my cage and anything else that will help my rabbit have a happy healthy life! Thanks 
It is a dwarf rabbit, so it’s hard to find one that fits. He doesn’t seem to mind, but he got out one time and I almost didn’t get him back. Any advice on an escape-proof harness or how I can train him correctly to be walked?
