give me full details as to why you think one is better than the other.What makes for a better pet, kitten or rabbit?
Depends on what you want from it and how much money and time you're willing to spend on it.
We have both. I'll tell you that we just got another cat and are so glad we got a one year old kitty. He's still so much a kitten but he's not scratching the heck out of all the kids (okay, just a few times) and he is already cool. We don't have to teach him anything.
If we were to ever get young kittens again we would most definately get two siblings. Its WAY better to do it that way. They attack each other but only play nicely with the kids.
Rabbits.....are a nice compromise between a cat and a dog but most people don't know anything about them. Even basic things like what to feed them. They don't care to do their research before they get a rabbit. People seem to view them as throw away pets like a goldfish they won at the carnival. That's really bad for the rabbit because they die quickly if they are not cared for properly. People buy them from pet stores or when they're too young. They also buy sick rabbits or kill them by feeding the babies greens. There is so much bogus rabbit info out there it amazes me. Rabbit raising is not new but people get bad info when they rely on trendy sources for info.
Rabbits are sooo cool. They love being with people much more than most people realize. They are relatively inexpensive to keep but you've got to get your info from a solid source like the ARBA whose members have been raising rabbits well for a century.What makes for a better pet, kitten or rabbit?
I have/had both. The main thing is rabbits urine stinks like no other smell and I never want to deal with that odor ever again in my life.
I have had both and I am torn as to advise on which is better. They are both GREAT pets. I use to have a kitty and his litter box was luckily outside so i never had to deal with thatn. Now, I have Indoor bunnies and I absolutely LOVE Them.. Their urine does not smell Anyworst than a cats... I much rather deal w/ rabbit urine then cat or dog poop.. That is just gross.. I ldo ove dogs but i dont want to deal with that stinky poo.. Don't want too....
My bunnies are like my kitty's and puppies all in one!!!!!! They are sooooooooooooo smart that they amaze me Everyday.. I dont want to say that they are smarter than a cat or dog but definately in a different way.. the can understand soo much and they can be litter box trained.
I am able to my bunnies get on their hind legs and beg for treats!! I LOVE that it... They are sooooooo cute when they do that.. They love being around people and they love being played with or talked too. I have now trained my house bunnies to stand on their hind legs and WAlk for their treats.. It is utterly amazing..
I dont know if I would of got my cat to do this but i was alot younger back then and didnt' have much time for him, but i want to think i would of trained him to do anything. I mean i did train my cat to go potty outside..
Best of Luck for whichever pet you pick just keep in mind. Rabbits do like to be ignored and paid attention too when they want too, exactly like cats.. And just like cats they need toys to keep them entertained and not bored..
Also if you get a rabbit, you must be bunny proof your house because they do love the chew for it's in their nature.. If they have the toys and old phones books and some safe cardboard stuff they will be ok.
So whichever pet you choose just remember to spend time with them!!!!!!!
Good luck.
i love rabbits they are so cute but i dont know which one to say cuz the both have bad things. Rabbits urine smells but if you are gona keep it in a secure hut outside then go with the rabbit. Kittens seem good cuz the go to the bathroom in a litter box but dont forget when they grow up the could have hairballs which are gross to pick up. My cat who is older has throws up everynight for no reson. it is soooo gross. Rabbits dont throw up but i dont think they are the best for inside cuz then they kinda smell.
well its your call good luck
well...it depends what sort of pet you want...if you want something you'll be able to hold, and that will always let you hold it, id recomend rabbit. if you want something that you can do a bit more with, but requires a bit more work, id suggest cat...the choice really depends on preferance
A kitten is better because they go in a box, you don't put them in a cage, you can play with them, you can take them places, you can put them in pet outfits, they are kind, and they can comfort you when your sad. A rabbit is shy, they are not every nice, they ****** stinck, they bite, they don't play with you and they are not every smart. Kittens are every smart. Trust me I have had cats befor and I had a rabbit. That damn rabbit bit me to where I had bit marks all over my hand. The cat is way better then a bunny. Latter=)

My Lionhead Rabbit Doesnt Like Water What Can I Substitute It With?
My Lionhead Rabbit Hates Drinking Water He Only Drinks It If Hes Really Thirsty What Can I Do To Substitute It?
-Megg xMy Lionhead Rabbit Doesnt Like Water What Can I Substitute It With?
I have had a couple of rabbits, but never had a problem with them drinking. Maybe give your rabbit some veggies as a treat that have a high water content such as celery. Start off slow as too much can give them diarrhea. If the problem persists, as far as not drinking, take the rabbit to the vet as something serious could be wrong. Rabbits are delicate animals. My experience was the rabbits went through a lot of water because of the hay and pellets, so your condition is unusual. If you question the health of your rabbit to any extent, make a quick call to a vet to find out if your rabbit needs to be looked at.My Lionhead Rabbit Doesnt Like Water What Can I Substitute It With?
NOTHING! Do not give your rabbit anything other than water to drink. He is obviously not thirsty all the time. If he doesn't seem to be drinking enough or looks sickly or something, vet him quick. Good luck to you and your bunny.
Lettuce has lots of water in it...but still you should offer water and have it available for the rabbit to drink when he needs to. He can't get to a water spigot, you know.
rabbits need a lot of vitmain C as part of their diet. You can fix his water with a tiny bit of Tang drink mix in it not to much, and see if he will drink that, good luck!
u can't substitute water.... he'll drink if he's thirsty. Just make sure you are putting a few drops of vitamins in with his food, and he should be fine
you can try and give him milk. cuz my rabbit had problems with not drinking water to then i gave him milk and he liked it.

Where can i get a cover for a rabbit hutch with a peaked roof?
I went to homebase / B%26amp; Q. Bought a tarpaulin, cut it to fit and nailed it on. Easy as. You have to change it eventually as the nails rust and the tarp wears, but they can last a good couple of winters. Where can i get a cover for a rabbit hutch with a peaked roof?
go to the craft section of wal mart, and pick out your own fabric and make one your self, its fun, easy, and you can have what ever color you want!Where can i get a cover for a rabbit hutch with a peaked roof?
I used to use a table or bike waterproof cover. Cheaper and fits quite well. Argos sell them

Can a rabbit live indoors all the time.?
What all will i need be spacific. How much wll it cost, and how do i convince ny parents to lettinge have one if i have a dog that likes to chase squrrils andbirds.Can a rabbit live indoors all the time.?
A rabbit can definitely be an indoor pet. In fact in my opinion, its much safer for them.
CAGE : basic plastic bottom cage $ 80.oo or a larger one for about $130.oo.
* HAY : cheaper by the farm bale. altho a $10.oo bag of Timothy have should last you almost a month. Hay is a ';must have';
PELLETS : $4.oo
WATER BOTTLE : about $ 3.50
* PLASTIC LITTERBOX : a corner one for under $5.oo
a large margerine tub free once the margerine is packed for later use or emptied.
* SHAVINGS : for litterbox up to $10.oo this is a Large bag.
* a couple of good rabbit books
- 1 on health, care + illness so you will recognize it when the rabbit is sick
- the other on rabbit language, ';Why does my rabbit'; is a great book !! For care look up the House Rabbit Society theres lots of good info there.
Join a rabbit group at yahoo if ever you come across a problem.Can a rabbit live indoors all the time.?
yes, i keep mine indoor because the neighbor always let her 4 cats run loose. but of course, i have a 2 bedroom house where my rabbit has her own room.
i bought my cage for $45 (petco or petsmart could be too expensive so go ahead and check out other places or you could make your own).
water bottle $4 at walmart
food at pet food express $9 (last for about a month and a half or 2)
hay $10
chew toys around $5
i can't think of anything else at the moment, but trust me ... rabbits are full of fun and they're not so hard to take care of.
for more info check out www.rabbit.org
if you have a hunting dog, it might not be a good idea to own a rabbit. i have 2 small dogs, they and the bunny get along pretty well. the dogs are actually scared of the bunny, that's why my bunny has her own room.
Yes!!!
Heres how 2 litter train a bun (i can't help w/ the 2nd part of ur question so hope this helps):
Every few min.s put the rabbit in the litter box. Soon they'll be doing it them selves!!!
umm no, just get a nice big and strong cage!!ive got 2 rabbits and they are heaps happy!!i let my rabbits run around in our front yard its so funny coz they do weird things!!well anyways
cya xx
I owned several small rabbits as a child, and I kept most of them indoors. In fact, keeping them indoors is definitely safest!
The rabbit itself will cost around $10-60, depending on where you buy it. I bought mine as bunnies at swap meets for about $10. A cage will cost around $20-50, and you can use newspaper to line the bottom of the cage. Food is probably the most expensive part, especially if you plan on feeding it food from Petco or Petsmart for long periods of time. One bag of pellets can cost you around $10-20 and will last about a month. If you don't want to go for that, you can always cut carrots and lettuce into small pieces and feed it to your rabbit (I usually fed mine these as treats).
Finally, keep your rabbit and your dog FAR, FAR away from each other. Make sure the cage you buy is very secure and that your dog won't be able to tamper with it until the rabbit is freed.
Tell your parents that rabbits are very quiet and easy to take care of. You can buy special carrying cases for them and take them outside to parks, the yard, etc.
Good luck %26amp; have fun!
I have a small rabbit who live indoors, he is litter box trained and is allow to run around the house. If you have to keep him in a a cage all of the time, I think that is cruel, they need exercise. Having a dog could be a problem, the dog may try to eat him. Cats get along with rabbits better. As far a expense, get good rabbit food and grass or alfalfa at your pet store and bedding material. Be prepared to clean his cage, everyday, they can be messy. Also, do not keep outside caged, that is extremely cruel, and unnatural. Get in touch with a local rabbit society in your area, they have lots of info.
they should livei ndoors bunnies need a lot of love and attention and they make wonderfull pets if u want a playfull pet and i bet u want there are 3 great breeds to ocnsider:
dutch bunny
lionhead
holland or mini lop
they are great i had all of them and i like lionheads the best
rabbits are easy ot care for
if u want u can spay/neuter ur rabbit ot prevent future whavio rollercoster
sometimes durnign growing up 6-7 month old rabbit will develop a weird behavior they will be aggresive territorial but spaying/neutering wil help and will make litter training easier
and now the costs
rabbit itself will cost u from 30-100$ depending on breed
cage-50-80 $
litter( care fresh or yesterdays new work best)-10-15$
food-5$
dishes,bottles-5$ each
hay( unlimited supply)-5$
chew toys-2,3$
Well, i have 2 rabbits. We have a small yard that is blocked in by a square gate like a square on each side. They absolutely LOVE going out side. You can definately keep it inside but im telling you it will get awfully bored.
Unless your yard or outside ';space'; is an open feild, then definately keep it inside. Any animal can come and kill it the moment you even take the glance. And trust me you'd hate to see that. It is horrible, and i know this because it happened to one of my rabbits. A cat ate him, it's crazy, but it's life. But now i live in a closed in gate yard, and no animal can enter.
You will need a cage, foods such as: pellets, fruits, veggies, etc. But do not give it too much fruits and veggies or that will prevent diarreah. You need to clean the cage everyday and change its water every SINGLE day.
Rabbits cost about $15-20, but i got mine at $15. They arent that much money, but its at that same range.
To convince your parents, you HAVE to be responsible. Because if your not then you cant deal with rabbits. They dont require much work, but seeing you already have a dog and your parents let you, i would tell they would definately let you have a rabbit. Just explain to them you'll be respensible and continue to be. And tell them about how much you'll spend on it, and how you'll clean it's cage everyday and feed it.
But keep the dog FAR FAR away from the rabbit. Especially if your rabbit is new, because he will bother it. That's why you should get a cage for it. Please keep it away from the dog or else he might kill it and that IS NOT a pretty picture. I've been through all of that so dont worry lol.
Hope i helped! To learn more about rabbits in such visit the website below that explains about them.

Will eating meat say pork chops hurt my rabbit?
I have an indoor rabbit and well she likes pork chops but I am not sure if she should be eating them because I don't want to hurt her. She isn't starving because she is fed daily (normal rabbit food) Will eating meat say pork chops hurt my rabbit?
do not feed your bunny pork chops , they need greenery and roughage to POOP. a rabbits digestive tract is not designed to handle MEAT.
they digest food so quickly that you may notice it coming out the same way that it went in. Also please take note that a rabbit cannot be put on a diet or it WILL DIE and I am not making this up once you begin to feed a rabbit an amount of food per day you must maintain that amount or it will die. I have 72 rabbits I raise %26amp; sell them.
