In the past few weeks I've watched lots of videos about rabbits as pets so I know that owning one is a huge responsibility but I think I can take care of one! I have space in my room for a cage big enough for a medium sized rabbit, is that a good idea?
I also own 3 adult cats and 1 kitten, one of them is mostly out but.. could a new rabbit and my cats get along if they are introduced correctly? Or should my rabbit only roam around my room and not the rest of my house?
I also have a nice garden where the rabbit can hop around freely too, I'd like to spend time out there with a rabbit and perhaps other places as well
I'm 18 years old, got a job/money, and got time for a rabbit
I'm mostly concerned about how the cats will react! And if it's a good idea to buy a brand new pet for myself. (I mostly want a bunny to keep me company in my room and because of their behaviour, they are pretty interesting and I just would like to take care of an animal I haven't had since I was 4 years old)
@xisax,
Well, your cats might see the bunny as prey, particularly when it's small. Also, their cages can kinda smell (as can most small animal cages).
Personally I think you have enough pets already.
@xisax,
You probably shouldn't get one rabbit, they need companionship so two is the way to go. They're a lot of work, and though I watch other people's pet videos on YouTube, I am beginning to wonder about keeping any animal in a cage. If a pet isn't capable of having the run of the house and taking part in the family, is it really your pet? And if you're afraid of the thing running away, I say if after you've raised it it still wants to go away, let it. Both you and the animal will be better off.
