Children must be taught how to handle rabbits, and onlyif they are mature and responsible enough to be trusted with thefuzzy creature. Money Even if you adopt a rabbit for free rather than buying one, youshould prepare for certain expenses. A good-sized cage will cost you at least $30 USD or $40 USD, andthis is an absolute essential. You can also expect to pay forother accessories, such as toys. Feeding is another considerable expense. At minimum you willneed to buy food pellets, hay and vegetables for your rabbit toconsume. You may also need to supplement with vitamins. Thenthere is also the matter of the litter box and fresh litter,which can add up over time. Moreover, you will need to take care of medical issues such asspaying (starting at $35) or neutering (a bit cheaper, startingat $25), as well as medical bills for checkups and any illnessesthat arise. Of course, it is also possible in some cases topurchase or adopt pet rabbits that have already been spayed orneutered, but even then it is going to be essential to pay forvarious medical expenditures over the course of your pet'slifetime. Before bringing home a rabbit, make sure that you can commit togiving him the quality of lifestyle he deserves throughout hislifetime (5-15 years, depending on the rabbit's breed and ageand health at the time of purchase). by Andrea Austin, http://www.rabbits-n-bunnies.com About the author:We hope you enjoyed this article.
