1712-1588 Usagi the Rabbit needs a home
Hi my name is Usagi and I am a beautiful gray rabbit with a tinge of brown... a very unique color! I am a female who came here with my neutered brother Sir Francis. We are use to running around inside a large room when we can be supervised. I will be even better littertrained once I am spayed, which the shelter here will do, if you like. I like to be petted once I settle down but I am not a fan of being held. Please read below to see if a rabbit like me is the perfect pet for you! PS in my pictures I am talking to Oreo. He is also already neutered!
House Rabbits can be great pets! They can live 7-11 years, have tons of personality, are litter-trained, are very social, and are very smart. They should never be left in their cages 24/7 but should be let out to hop around for exercise and stimulation for their brains everyday. They are as intelligent as cats!
Once they are spayed and neutered, which the shelter here will do (just ask the adoption desk staff), they will easily litter train. They will pick the spot in their cage where they want the litter box, and when they are hopping around, you should pull their litter box out of their cage into the room. They need Timothy hay, fresh fruits and vegetables, and rabbit pellets available daily. Water bottles work best in the cage but they use bowls of water when out of their cage. Chew toys are NEEDED to wear down their teeth, which are constantly growing. Wood, sticks, paper towel rolls and manufactured rabbit toys work great. They need small fleece blankets, a large igloo or a big wooden box to sleep in or on top of.
Their cage must be large enough to hop around in, and to lay down in and kick their feet behind them. If it has two stories, that works great. If they are litter-trained, you can use a large dog crate. A great book to learn EVERYTHING about a house rabbit including foods and chewing deterrents for your electrical cords is "THE HOUSE RABBIT HANDBOOK" written by Marinell Harriman.
