[ What do you mean you don't have any saber-toothed rabbits in stock??]
Next month, I am moving into a bachelor apartment and am seriously considering
the purchase of a guard rabbit.
I am considering perhaps a non-albino Dwarf rabbit and would appreciate any
advice from net rabbit owners/breeders.
- Where is the best place to purchase a rabbit?
Are pet-store ones really healthy? How do I find a local rabbit
breeders club? How do I make sure it's a Dwarf? Are there breeds
that are more suitable for apartments?
- I am considering a large wire cage with a deposit collector tray.
Does the rabbit need a house to sleep in or a place where he can
sit off the wire floor?
- Is wise to take a rabbit outside? Will dogs, cars and other noises
be too terrifying? Is park/campus grass sprayed so much that it
may be harmful? Does a domestic rabbit have enough instinct not
to consume something harmful to it, such as a poisonous plant?
Is worth trying to grow grass or other plants in an apartment
for the rabbit?
- Will the rabbit need to breed (like Spock in Amok Time) or will
it be content with a subscription to Playbunny?
Also wanted - name suggestions:
How about... Starsky ( ... in Hutch )
or... Feature ( It's not a Bugs, it's a Feature. )
Barely resisting buying one now,
Dani Roloson
