Renting with a Pet Rabbit

Mon, 22 May 2023 21:44:14 +1000

How to successfully rent if you own a pet rabbit

Can you rent with a pet rabbit?

Here are some pros and cons of renting with a pet rabbit:

**Pros:**

* Rabbits are generally quiet and won't disturb neighbors with loud barking or meowing.

* They are usually litter-trained, which means they won't make a mess on the carpet or floors.

* Rabbits are happy to hop around your home and don't require daily walks like dogs.

* They can be kept in a playpen, which means they won't damage furniture or other items in the rental unit and you can bunny proof your home for when they are free roam.

* Rabbits are social animals and can provide companionship for their owners.

**Cons:**

* Some landlords may not allow pets, including rabbits, in their rental units.

* Rabbits require a certain amount of space to move around and exercise, so they may not be suitable if you only have a bedroom in a share house.

* They can be messy eaters and may scatter hay or bedding around their living area.

* Rabbits have a tendency to chew on things, including furniture and baseboards, which can cause damage to the rental unit if not bunny proofed.

* They may produce odors if their litter box is not cleaned regularly.

Overall, renting with a pet rabbit can be a good option for those who want a companion pet that won't disturb neighbors. However, it's important to check with the landlord or rental agency to ensure that pets are allowed in the rental unit and to take steps to minimize any potential damage or odors.

Fabric bunny rabbit cage Bunny rabbit playpens rabbit hutch rabbit playpens can be such a handy accessory for your pet rabbit. For example when travelling, the pop up playpen folds down flat and can be placed in the floor of the boot and your luggage stacked on top. If you have a large enough car you can put the seats down and the pop up playpen can be a spacious travel crate as well for your bunny.

Apart from being flat packable, the pop up fabric playpen has mesh panels all around and a zip up mesh roof top. The mesh allows air flow, keeping your bunny cool and taking advantage of your car air-conditioner if you have it erected in the car.

Mozzie and Fly Proof

The pop up fabric playpen is fly and mosquito proof which means that it protects your bunny from flies and mozzies that carry the deadly rabbit diseases. This is vital when travelling as you can not know if the virus is prevalent in the areas that you are passing through or going to.

Pop up fabric rabbit enclosures come in various sizes and colours. They are available on Amazon and Ebay at quite low prices.

Also useful for travelling are the fabric pet carriers which again come in various colours and sizes. Our own long term supplier is Pet Homes. They have the fabric pet carriers in various sizes.

Bunny Castles

Why we make Bunny Castles!

Rabbits need lots of exercise and places to sit, hide, relax and explore. The Bunny Castles provide this and more. They have turrets and we put an insert into one of them so that the bunny can make his way up and sit on top. They have a ramp which hides a lower cave like hideaway.

When the rabbit first arrives in his or her new home, they feel scared. Everything is new and different, the sights, sounds, smells are all different as is the movement of the household and the routines. During the first week to ten days, the rabbit love to hide in the dark hidey hole under the ramp. As he or she begins to 'desensitise' to the environment, the bunny will emerge more often and explore the other parts of the Bunny Castle.

The tunnel is a favourite spot for bunnies as it is like their natural tunnel or burrow which in their natural setting they dig into the earth.

A Bunny Castle can be surrounded by a Bunny Playpen to create a playground, feed area and toilet.

Bunny Parents can buy a Bunny Castle in our Rabbit Rescue Shop. People who foster our rescue rabbits or adopt a rabbit can purchase at half price.

Currently we are working on a flat pack version so we can supply all states in Australia.
