Posted by Melony on 24/4/2006, 3:21 am, in reply to "a question that has been asked and answered but...(V/Long)" Rabbits are by nature very clean so litter training is quite easy. Basically it's find where she likes to go and put the litter pan there. Dwarves are about the smallest breed and if handled from young make wonderful companions. I don't find the urine smell strong at all, especially if you keep the litter try clean. Both male and female rabbits can be successfully neutered, I've had around 30 done with no problem what so ever, just make sure the vet knows what they're doing in terms of anasthesia and removes the ovaries along with the uterus in the female. If you go to www.ozrabbits.com there is a link page that will lead you to other rabbit web sites and there's some information about breeds here http://www.centralpets.com/pages/mammals/rabbits.html http://exoticpets.about.com/cs/rabbits/a/rabbitbreeds.htm There is a House Rabbit Society in Sacramento that may be able to help with more info as well plus they always have rabbits needing adoption. Getting one this way will mean it will be de-sexed, usually litter trained and used to handling. You can't get better than that! In regard to the cage really the bigger the better. I like to use NIC cubes and make condos. To that I add a puppy exercise pen. This way they rabbit can still run around if you can't keep an eye on them, cause it's guaranteed the minute you don't they've chewed through your phone line! Toys are can be quite simple, cardboard boxes, old cardboard rolls, plastic bottles, untreated cane baskets even baby toys like teething keys. They do like to tunnel but that's where a bit of imagination and a cardboard box comes in handy. I usually just tape 3 or 4 together into a structure, cut a couple of holes for doors and windows and let them go to work on it. Good luck! Melony
