Wondering about adopting a dwarf rabbit...

[Katey]

How come you want a female rabbit. I have found that if you are only getting one rabbit a male is the way to go because they tend to be more docile, and because the female is the one that will dig huge burrows in your backyard. Males tend to just dig tiny in a spot a tiny bit while spraying urine just to mark those spots for them.

It'll be a female 'house rabbit' and because male rabbits spray their urine - marking territories - is the reason I'd rather have a female. I read on another 'rabbit website' - the scent is strong and terrible.

I heard that males spray too but mine is intact and does not pee anywhere but his box. I guess I got lucky. Since you already got advice, I'll say good luck! Rabbits are great little pets.

I have a Netherland dwarf and I would have to say she is ten times more work than any rabbit I have ever owned. I myself would have chosen a different kind if I knew she would be the way she is, its very hard to hold her, and hard to pet her even, she is more agressive then all the other rabbits I have ever had, she seems to want to be independent all the time and left alone, and I always tried to tame her its it pretty hard, I would LOVE to have a lop, every Lop I have ever saw were the nicest and sweetest but I guess it depends on the rabbit itself.

Actually most males don't and if you get them fixed at 4-6 months they stop. And females do it too sometimes worse then males. Not to mention they usually have a horrible attitude and need alot of patience. I know I'm making girls sound terrible but I would recomend a neutered lop male for a first time owner. Preferably a adopted one.
I agree with everything BlueDragonFly has said (It's nice to have someone like me on this board )

Exactly, most people think oh I want a Netherland dwarf they are so small and stay small. But really they turn out to be pretty nasty especially for inexperienced rabbit owners and thats why most of them end up dying from lack of care or in a shelter.
