Refugio Gastineau: if its your first time rabbit, dutches are great. they arent too "excited" like the netherland dwarves and not too mellow / placid like the holland lops. but if you are looking for something mellow and placid, most lops are very calm.. but you know it all depends on how it was raised but generally speaking most lops are calm.they need LOTS of room. most pet store cages are WAY too small. there are a few cages that are good. but they are in the uk so most people (if any) cant get them if theyre in the usa. ferplast 160 and trixie 150 are nice roomy cages. BUT its kind of short. and usually really p! ricey; that is to say IF you can even get one (if youre in the usa). your best bet would be to make a nic cage. they are cheap and you can make it to any size you would like it to bewell it all depends on what breed. i dont suggest a flemish giant or any HUGE rabbit breed for beginners, because well... yes they may be more calm than the smaller breeds but they just eat so much and produce so much more waste that it might be over whelming for a first time rabbit owner and you might not be able to care for it after a while. but every rabbit needs a place to call home. all rabbits need floor time outside the cage, the cage is mainly for sleeping in and when youre at school or work.if you adopt, there will be some rabbits that are a "bonded pair" and they NEED to be adopted together. most rabbits get along with other rabbits but i mean... you dont have to.. as long as you can provide the play time and care time for your rabbit you dont really need to get another rabbit (provide! d that the rabbit you are getting is not bonded with another r! abbit)most rabbits are friendly but you know it all depends on how they have been raised and how they were treated as a baby. i JUST came back from the pet store and i saw these baby bunnies and they were adorable and i picked a couple of them up and they didnt bite me or anything but they kicked a lot and squirmed a lot. which is normal, but the rabbits i visited in rescues were VERY calm and didnt squirm or anything. so it all depends oh how they are / were being treatedthey are easy to take care of but they need lots of work. i mean its pretty simple,.. you feed them the right amount of pellets. give them fresh hay and water daily and veggies. but the question is, are you dedicated to do this? after a while i guess it gets boring and tiresome. and you also have to clean out their litter box. its not hard but theres just a lot of things to dowell as long as your dog doesnt harm the rabbit in any way. just try and keep your dog away from the rabbit for the first few weeks ! or daysthey can live 8-12 years. they usually live around 8-10 thoughYES! they can be litter trained! but its usually UNSUCCESSFUL if you have a young rabbit or a rabbit that is NOT fixed. but if your rabbit is fixed then it will be very successfulbinkybunny.com and rabbit.org are great websites...Show more
