What kind of pets do you own?

Maybe some mechanical trousers?

That and some moon cheese and he'd be set.

I have a hamster named Tyson. He likes to bite.

I've got a dog, she's just a complete badass. (Boarder Collie)

But I have always wanted a rabbit.

Hey Gabossie, could you explain how you take care of the rabbit? I've been considering one as well, and I guess I wanna know what sorts of foods you give it, what you do for housing, if anything at all, that sort of stuff?

I used to have a ferret....best pet ever.

as of right now I've got two small dogs (well, sorta, one is pretty damn heavy...) and a cat (sorta...we got these stray cats that run around some and I'll let them in the house because they amuse me...we have a calico cat that we actually call ours too though)

Hmms still intrigued about the house rabbit Gabossie! =D

Well, he's a roamer. I don't have a cage for him, he just lives with me in my studio appt. Rabbits are very easy to litterbox train (easier than cats usually). I feed him rabbit food (pellets) and collard greens with some fruit for treats. If you're gonna get a rabbit, the most important thing is protecting all your cords. anything within his reach, he will chew on eventually. BJ doesn't really chew on furniture, which is good, but cords are fair game to him. I was told to get cord protectors for everything before I got him, but they were super expensive, so I got sprinkler tubing (semi rigid 1/2" black tubing) and wrapped all my cords in it, works great.

If you decide to get a rabbit, read up a little bit online first. They are awesome pets, and don't require alot of care. I suggest doing what I did and find a vet that works with rabbits, then you can usually rescue one, for free, and you don't have to deal with the dangers of a really young rabbit (harder to take care of, much more succeptable to heat). There are lots of animals that need homes, rabbits are no exception, plus, you rescue from a vet and they are usually neutered for free (seriously, this needs to be done for a house rabbit).
