Well for a while now I've been thinking about getting a bunny or a guinea pig. I use to have guinea pigs as a kid and i loved them. And I have always wanted a bunny. Im leaning more towards a bunny cause they grow to be bigger then the guinea pigs and that would probley be best since I have the dogs and cats. I know the dogs and cats would be good with the bunny or guinea pig once they stopped the sniffing the new creature phase.
It has been a while since I have had a small animal like this. What kind of things should I make sure I have before I get one? I know a cage, waterer,bowl,litter,food. Anything else?
And I konw all animals like to have a companion but if I got a bunny would he not be happy by himself? I would rather just get one, cause then I could let it run around the house and not worry about two bunnys hopping all over the place.
Im also trying to decide if I should get one of those rabbit hutches you can put outside? I found one on craigslist for $65. Its not a huge one which is good, its a smaller one, probley could fit two good sized bunnies. I could also put this hutch inside since it isnt big. Or should I just stick with a standard cage?
Thanks for any help or info you can give me on bunnys and guinea pigs!
when i had my bunny i used just a ex lrg dog crate. he lived inside with us. i had a play area for him outside. he was litter box trained and i could let him run free around the house. my dogs didn't bother him at all. the only thing with letting them run around the house is you have to make sure there are no phone lines or cords laying where they can chew on them. i made a little house out of plywood and i also made a second level in the cage with plywood.
