Once you have bought the cage etc. for your rabbit, it really doesn't cost much per month to keep a rabbit.
I put shredded paper in her bedroom so that doesn't cost anything.
Her food costs £3 to £4 per month
cat litter costs £5 per month for a big bag.
Disinfectant spray for her hutch is £3
I use grass downstairs and that costs about £3
And then whatever treats you want to buy your rabbit £2 or £3
I would say about £20 per month altogether.

Well, my rabbit is quite different to most others, she can't eat vegetables because they upset her, so she has to eat mostly hay and dried food and she can eat grass too.
We get our rabbit food from Pets at Home, and also the bedding and hay.
The food bag is about £4 and it lasts a good few weeks, we might buy 2 a month some months and not others.
We get a giant bag of shavings from there, that's about £8 but she is a very big rabbit and we also have a guinea pig so it makes it cheaper for us but they do sell smaller ones.
The biggest bag of hay is also under £5 and that lasts quite a while.
I would say it costs under £20 per month. Hope this helped!!

Seems most are going for pet shop supplies. A huge bale of hay off a farmer £2 ..go shares with a friend. Farm supply shops do big bales of shavings( car boot size)...go for Aubious as its shredded dry plant material and composts easily..thats around £7 uk . Rabbit Royale( Farm supplies) is between £8 to-9.50 for 20 kilos. A guide to feed amount is using one of those blue washing powder scoops that come with Daz. A Netherland dwarf gets half per day, normal sized rabbit a full one etc supplemented with hay and greens later in the day. Never use hay for bedding as it comes out in one solid lump..unlike straw ( £1 per huge bale) that they chew up into short lengths. Cared for..checking teeth, bum and claws yourself..shouldn't need a vet...local rabbit clubs have pet classes..see British Rabbit Council site for local one...guys and gals there will tell you how to cut claws and give general advice. Remember a rabbit has claws on all four corners..so use a long sleeved garment..it doesnt mean to scratch. To answer your question :- Not very much

well um idk bout brtisih pounds but ill give it 2 u in British pounds- i used a translater
When u first get a rabbit- GET FROM BREEDER!! pet store bunnies r dieseased and will die!- it will be about 49.6118 or more depending on the type of rabbit- i have a Netherand Dwarf- tiny and cute!! :) - and i paid17.3633 for just the rabbit
per month it will be the cost of bedding- i use cedar chips- keeps the smell under control- and food- i buy the large bags- they r cheaper than buying a bunch of small bags- and i am set for a few months on food and about 2 months on bedding. then if u buy chew toys- buy a pack of chew sticks and a salt and mineral wheel.
with all of this it will be about:
12.4023 every 2 or 3 months on food and bedding- if u take my advice and buy the large bags.
a salt and mineral wheel (highly suggest!!) it will be around 2.4805

i spend about £10-20 on mine. Food is £5 a bag the hay is £3 i buy the wood pellets at £6 instaed of saw dust but they last longer than a month then there is the odd carrot and treats. i don't have insurance but i think that would be about £5 a month may be less. Jabs are two every six months at £15 pounds each approx.

once u have bought the rabbit ,the hutch,the run,and dishes etc its very cheap to look after a rabbit mine goes through the following.
1. a big bag of food with natural grass £2.80 last nearly a month
2. sawdust £8.00 a month
3.bedding £3.00 a month
4. treats £3.00 a month
so lets say for arguments sake it would be no more than £20.00 a month
it all depends where u get the items from .

Rabbits don't cost that much. You can buy i bag of hay/straw/sawdust for about £8 and that's it. You can just take food out of the fridge to feed it. My rabbit Bb eats broccoli, cabbage, tomato, cucumber, sprouts, carrots, grass from the garden, dandelion leaves, parsnip and also rabbit food, but i prefer to give him fresh vegetable. My new rabbit Penny is only 8weeks old so she is on rabbit food as she is not allowed vegetables until she is 12 weeks old, but then she will be on the same.
Rabbits cost as much or less as you want to pay. You can buy expensive food and hay and expensive toys etc, its up to you.

Per moth. ? hmmm....
Per month - very cheap once you've outlaid for the hutch etc. We pay 3.99 for a bag of food which lasts around a month, then around another 10.00 on bedding (straw/had/sawdust etc). After that just treats. Under £15.00 a month is to be expected.
