Pet Rabbit Supplies

I need to know how much it cost to adopt a rabbit, and how it cost to get supplies.

Check petfinder.com or craigslist, Many people have rabbits and then can not keep them. Many people close to them all their supplies on Craigslist

The real rabbit is generally not very expensive. They can range from $ 10 to $ 60. If you know what breed you want, try to find a breeder near you. If you are only looking for a pet (no show or race), you can get a pet rabbit, usually for about $ 20. The advantage to a breeder is that you know where the rabbit comes, you can see the father and mother, and you know the story of Rabbit and his family. Most breeders do not give a pedigree rabbits for pets, but you should get a birth certificate that gives you the date of birth and parents' names. Another good option is a shelter or rescue. The adoption fee varies, but includes a vet check and sterilize and any necessary medical treatment while the rabbit is safe.

One of the biggest costs of a rabbit is the vet bills. All pet rabbits should be spayed or neutered. This form surgery can cost $ 50-400 depending on where you live and the vet. You should also take the rabbit for a check up with a rabbit knowledgeable vet once you get it. In most countries, the rabbits do not need vaccines.

The vast majority of cages any pet store are too small for an adult rabbit. The minimum size of the cage (measured at the bottom) is 2X3ft, but bigger is better. You can build a big cage for about half of a cage in a pet store. http://www.guineapigcages.com has good info on what you need and how. You can make as big as you want to have a space for the rabbits also like to have levels. I build these cages for about $ 50 and is at least 3 times larger than the cage of the animal.

You want to get a litter box and litter rabbit safely. I like a big cat rectangular box. It is cheaper than a rabbit and also works well. There is a wide variety of boxes available, so you can choose what you like. You do not want it to be big enough for the rabbit to sit comfortably, while those who are really small will not work. Expect to pay about $ 10 for a litter box. For litter, wood or paper pellet that works best. There are some cat litter that work, but they are expensive. litter stables (can be bought at a farm or store food), or pellet stove is much cheaper and the same thing. I pay about $ 6 for 40 pounds of litter and a bag lasts me about 2-3 months with 3 rabbits.

I use blankets in the rest of the cage and the use of waste in the litter. The coverage costs me about $ 4 each and I have 5 or 6 that I turn and wash. You can also use the fleece. I would not use a towel because it can lead to a crash if they are consumed.

For food and water dishes, expect to pay about $ 3-5 for each. You may be able to find something at a dollar or discount store. I have a water dish that attaches to the cage can not be reversed.

Rabbits need toys. Each rabbit has different likes toys. You should try some kind of see what your rabbit likes. rolls paper towels or paper bags stuffed with hay are good toys such as rings shower curtains. Things they can throw or chewing are good places to start.

Food and hay are important and must be purchased on a regular basis. You should get the best pellets you can afford. Avoid them with seeds, nuts and other bits. I pay $ 20 for 10 pounds of pellets Oxbow BB T /, but there are other good meatballs. hay pet is usually expensive, but a rabbit is easier than buying a ball. You should look around for the best hay. Small independent stores tend pm better and cheaper
