Rabbits

[Misty_Pearl]

Thank, that is a place to start. I always research a new animal for at least a year before I ever add it to my home. The only exception to this was Zorro (raccoon). He was a spur of the moment purchase - and my house has suffered tremendously for it!~

Well I think lop eared bunnies for the most part seem to be very nice. And darf bunnies are more aggressive but it really depends on the rabbit itself... I have a darf and a mixed breed and my mix breed is friendly. I also have another mix breed female and she uses a litter box or atleast she used to. Im sure you could train any to use a litter box but you need to spend alot of time with them.

See http://rabbit.org for lots of info.

ANY rabbit can be litterbox trained.

ANY rabbit can be pretty long-lived, depending on the care he or she receives, and if s/he gets spayed/neutered.

I wouldn't worry so much about breed per se, but do your research about rabbits, then look in the shelters and see who captures your heart!

I agree with all the said above. Most all breeds of bunny have about the same lifespan. Most bunnies I've known have all lived between 6-10 years old, some even longer. And here is a pic of my bunny, she is a dwarf rabbit, I don't really know what breeds are in her though since I got her from a pet store, she is a mixed, and she is littered trained

I agree with Karen. Like a dog or cat if cared for properly they can live very long. And just like dogs the larger the breed generaly the less longer they live.

I dont know much other than what i have been told.

I personally like the Lionheads,And they say there lifespan is 6-8 years.

But as long as they have the proper care and diet im sure you could guarantee 10 years or longer.

I know there is no shots for rabbits,I want to get her spayed but am a little frightend i heard bunnies dont do well being put under????
