Description

Baby rabbits. Will be 8 weeks soon. Looking to rehome them; I thought I could keep them all, but I found they are more work than I anticipated. So I am keeping mom and maybe one baby. $20 each. Male and female babies available. There is a whitish one left, a fluffy yellowish one, and two brownish ones, and one I call Mo due to having a mowhak. Mo got her name before I discovered she is a girl. Mo is the most affectionate one, and I would prefer that Mo go to a home where she can be indoors, as I have grown attached to her. One of the brown ones will also come up to me to cuddle/ask for food. They all looove to run around when I let them out of their house. They definitely get the zoomies, so cute. They are not scared of my feet at all, and they won't run away when I walk up to them or when I make loud noises around them: aka drop something. They are not scared of the shop vac cleaning out their cage, though I prefer to wait until they leave to vacuum lest I suck up a bunny. But, they definitely will run away from my hands since they associate my hands with being picked up. I have tried to resist the urge to cuddle with them so that they will stick around and let me pet them. I have read that rabbits will get more affectionate as they age. I hope this is true. The reason that I am not keeping them all is that they are not at all litter box trained when you have that many rabbits together. They will pee in their litter box, but they will poop everywhere in the cage because they don't have their own space to claim. Therefore, I have to clean the cage floor and litter box daily. If you are thinking of taking one, I will tell you how I am currently caring for them so you know what you are getting yourself into. I am keeping them in a Country Road Barn Ranch Chicken Coop which I got at Rural King for a little over $200, and I believe it would be sufficient for one to two rabbits. It has lots of floor space for two litter/nest boxes on the floor, and it provides adequate ventilation: approximate floor space 6x3. My other rabbit is in a DIY house/cage which I threw together with scrape wood: approximate floor space 8x3 ft. These fit inside my house, but your floor space may not be able to accommodate such a large enclosures inside. I DO NOT recommend sticking them inside the tiny critter cages that Petco sells. Neither you nor bunny would be happy (messy and stinky). My rabbits get daily time outside their cage for two-three hours. I let them out when I get home from work and put them back when I go to bed. Usually a treat or nap time entices them back to their cage. Mom does not poop or pee outside her cage, and babies won't unless they have been out for a LONG time. For the litter box inside the rabbit hutches, I have tried different things, and I have found what I like the best. This is the set up for each cage. I am using two cat litter boxes in each cage with puppy pads inside. On top of that I mix wood shavings, dried hay they won't eat, and Carefresh together. Carefresh and the puppy pad absorb the urine, and the wood shavings help eliminate the ammonia. With this set up and daily litter box changes, I don't smell the cages. I believe that the box could be changed every other day with one rabbit, but with all the babies I have to change the litter boxes every day. (yes-expensive) Hopefully, you are still interested even though I have just informed you of how much work a house rabbit is... :) But, I think they just as time consuming as taking care of puppies, and they really are much cleaner that dogs. (don't smell, shed, get muddy paws on you). If you wish to keep your rabbit outside, I understand. I just ask that you provide them with a place that they can be warm through the winter and have some room to run daily. Please don't keep them in a tiny hutch. They are too affectionate to be kept the way you would keep a meat rabbit.
