Re: Rabbit newbie seeking help

Most rabbits enjoy the company of other rabbits. But before you get another one you should take him/her to a rabbit-savvy vet to be sure of the sex. Rabbits should be spayed and neutered around 4-6 months.

Rabbits can live in a C & C cage too, but the choroplast might need to go around the outside. I would try to make one around 4 cubes long and at least 2 cubes high. Rabbits love upper levels!

When your rabbit becomes litter trained, you won't have to have bedding all over the cage. They just need bedding in the litterbox. Stay away from pine and cedar. Bedding that is safe includes aspen, Yesterday's news, Feline Pine, wood stove pellets, Carefresh.

Rabbits also love (and need) toys. Here are some of my rabbit's favorites: cardboard boxes with multiple bunny doors, cardboard tunnel (at Home Depot), untreated baskets, untreated apple tree branches, hard plastic baby toys that make noise, phone book to shred, digging pot, towel, plastic slinkie. The House Rabbit Society website has a list of more bunny toys.

If you can get your hands on some oxbow rabbit food, I think it is the best.
