advice
OK Dogs and Cats are out so please no suggestions to get them:
Ok so i'd like to know how it is having a rabbit as a pet. We are thinking about getting one of the mini bunnies that don't get very big, but how are they with cuddling? Do they like it? See we want something like a dog that we can cuddle but that we can potty train like a cat and our pet store lady said we can potty train rabbits, but I just don't know how much they like to be held and how they are if we are at work or if we are sleeping. Are they ok alone you know like will they get depressed or are they pretty good about independance (ok now obviously i'm not talking about all day every day, just like a few hours). Are they good with birds if anyone knows. Thanks.
I grew up with lot of rabbits. The kind that we had were called American Fuzzy Lops. They were medium sized but all had a very sweet temperament. I've been around a few of the small ones before (Netherland Dwarfs) and it depends on temperament for them so I advise you to spend some time with your potential pet before bringing it home. Rabbits actually have personalities like dogs and cats. You can potty train them if you start from a young age. You could also train them to walk up and down stairs. Like dogs and cats, some of them cuddle and some of them don't. The fuzzy lops we had generally liked to be held and petted. They are pretty good on their own, although you could get a halter and leash for them because they do like to be outside. Being cooped up in cages all day will depress them and cause them to be kind of angry. They are quiet, they are good with other animals and generally kids. They are easy pets to take care of, just trim their claws once in a while. Just make sure you're getting one that seems laid back and you shouldn't have any trouble with them. I miss having rabbits! I hope this helps.
