hi, what exactly is your daughter allergic to? the fur, or the dander? bunnies do shed, there are short haired and long haired, i dont think bunnies have the dander that cats have. they also have no smell to them. it is a protective thing.. so that hunters cant smell them out. i think she would be less allergic to bunnies than a cat.. i have a cheap lil hand vac that i use only for vaccuming their fur and poopies out of cage.. true they use litter box, but do leave happy pills out of it.. happy pills are just bunny poo that came out when they are marking territory, bunnies have 2 dif kind of poo, one which is soft, and they eat, other is hard pellet... when they are "doin business" its in a pile.. it is wise to spay or neuter bunny so they will be cleaner, and less territorial.. tho some will always be territorial, but wont spray. one way to avoid allergic reactions, is to keep bunny area clean.. once bun is litter trained, i moved them to the big cage.. their litter box, to keep from diggin and playing in their own poo, i put a light cover and cut to size, you know those ones for offices with holes. i put that over their litter, and the droppings and urine fall thru. change box every other day or so, depending.. i have 2 bunnies, it also depends on the litter you use.. i use wood pellets, as it absorbs, but be warn, when it soaks, it swells.. or use carefresh. feed plenty of hay, which child may be allergic to as well, just have to see;. fresh veggies as well. well, everynight, at 9 pm, central time, theres a bunny chat, with well experienced owners at www.rabbit.org/chat you will have to register. but its well worth it, more info on rabbits at www.rabbit.org
