Answer 1

If you want a rabbit, the best place to get one is from a rescue. Apart from the obvious health checks that they do ( that shops and breeders don't) they will have been vaccinated and neutered too. Please do as much research in how to look after a rabbit before you get one. Best to get a pair for company. You will also need a hutch, a run, toys, excel food, fresh veg every day, a water bottle, lino ( to line the hutch to make cleaning easier) fresh straw, fresh hay, cleaning fluid, water bottle steriliser and of course your TIME. Rabbits are harder work than cats or dogs. They can be litter trained and must have a decent living area 5' x 2' and a secure run of 6' x 3' minimum. They will require regular Myxomatosis and VHD jabs yearly and their teeth and claws checked regularly. They require regular hugs and handling to stop them getting feral and not letting you pet them etc. read as much as you can, visit rescues to get the best types suited for you. Good luck

Answer 2

£15-20 in the UK.Never buy from a pet store find a good breeder.

The real expense is the hutch (or cage if you plan to keep it as an indoor rabbit) chews,food,water bottle,bedding etc. This can cost well over £100.

Rabbits also need to be vaccinated as babies and then again each year for myxomatosis.

Answer 3

I've seen rabbits for sale at Petco for $100 this includes a check up and spayed/neutered. a cage can run you anywhere $40-on up. you need pellet food, litter(not cedar), unlimited supply of hay, toys(you can make these), wood blocks to chew on, litter boxes, water bottle, fresh veggies.
You can adopt a rabbit from your local shelter. which is what I have done. Most shelters cost from around $15 to $25 dollars which is the most I've paid when adopting.
Rabbits do not nee licensing or shots but it is still wise to take him/her to the vet every year to make sure their healthy. Rabbits are normally a healthy pet two have never had medical problems, one has a sneezing problem that is being treated for, and one rabbit who is no longer among the living had seizes that we could not find the cause of. went to two different vets recommended by the house rabbit society.
Start up can be costly but maintenance is inexpensive, but the love I get from them is priceless.

Answer 4

The actual rabbit will cost somewhere between 30 and 50, regardless of whether you buy it or adopt it. If you try to buy a purebred rabbit from a breeder, it could easily cost you upwards of 100. It's a big initial cost, all the supplies, but they're so sweet.

Answer 5

It depends on the quality of the rabbit you want. But you need to buy the necessities first:
rabbit cage/hutch, food bowl (one that they can't flip over), water bottle, bedding for tray in cage- NO CEDER!!- (unless you want it to die/get sick), wood blocks (untreated wood), salt blocks w/spool, and the feed.
Then you can buy a rabbit. You should research the kind of rabbit you plan on getting first www.rabbitweb.net is a great resource for this. I wouldn't buy from a pet store because they are pron to having medical problems like Malocclusion, wry neck, and etc. Pet stores recive rabbits that are of the worst quailty.

Answer 6

Go to http://www.rabbit.org/ (The House Rabbit Society) and check out their "chapters" section to see if there's one in your area (they are international). These are people who take in ownerless house rabbits of all kinds and find new homes for them. Before you get a bunny though, read up on how to care for one, ask your local vet if they would be able to care for a bunny if you ever needed medical help (some vets have no experience with "exotics," I've even known some vets who won't allow you to bring in a rabbit because one of their vets is allergic to rabbit fur), make sure you will be able to easily get staple rabbit food, make sure your home is rabbit-proofed.

Answer 7

bunny -(in additional than a number of circumstances casual) somewhat a gentle rabbit or a gentle waitress in a nighttime club whose dress incorporates a rabbit-tail and ears rabbit any of distinctive burrowing animals of the kinfolk Leporidae having lengthy ears and short tails; some domesticated and raised for pets or food or flesh of any of distinctive rabbits or hares (wild or domesticated) eaten as food or the fur of a rabbit or hunt rabbits i wager it truly is a bunny reason it truly is a comic strip version of the rabbit

Answer 8

The rabbit itself? 10-20 dollars. Everything it needs? More.
Things you need to look up to really add it all up:
Food
Things to chew on (if you dont they'll chew on their cage, very irritating)
bedding
cage
and then of course the vet bills.
(this is randomly thrown in here but you can actually litter box train your rabbit, so if you keep it in a room and let it run around when you're watching it you can teach it to go in litter boxes in the corner)

a rabbit is a HUGE responsibility. I had a rabbit and she was more work than my dogs!
Just be careful what you're getting yourself into.. good luck!

Answer 9

The average price of a Rabbit in UK is about £15-£20. Don't buy one from a pet store, you need to find an independent breeder.

Answer 10

Well it would cost you in the range of £5 to £10 from Tesco's, but if you want it for a pet then don't bother. Leave the animals alone, they should be living a life of freedom!! not a caged life of misery?
