Thinking about getting a rabbit, and need lots of information.?

Question

I would like to get a pet rabbit, but I'm completly new to the whole thing.

I live in Minnesota, and the rabbit would live outside.

What species would you reccomend, and what other information should I know?

Answer 1

The best info ever is right here: http://www.rabbit.org

Rabbits are very smart and make wonderful companion pets. It's best to provide them with a companion of some sort (either another bunny - opposite sex, though spayed or neutered; or a guinea pig), or you should plan on spending a lot of time bonding with your bun.

Also, you need to know that rabbits are high maintenance pets. Having the rabbit live outside, uncaged, is a guarantee of a short life for the rabbit. He may dig himself out of the yard and then find himself either prey to an urban raccoon or stray dog, or worse, become roadkill.

I had rabbits in my life for 9 years and just this past week, I had to have my last rabbit, my best animal bud - next to my dog - put to sleep... as he was elderly and had succumbed to a debilitating spinal disease.

Rabbits make wonderful pets... find out all about them at the above website... they also put out a helpful book, called House Rabbit Handbook.
