the cage is about the equivalent of a 50 gallon tank or bigger not sure would this work if i put in some kind of flooring
and also im planning to put a baby in there not an adultCan i have a bearded dragon in a rabbit cage?
Can't feed it crickets
Cant heat it.
you could take the base and use it as a building block to build up from, like a foundation of a house. Just measure out some wood and build around it, you'll need plexiglass, glass or clear plastic, though. You may find scraps from someone who is throwing out a shelving unit with glass doors.
Just be creative. There can be NO exits anywhere. If you build around it with wood walls, you're going to need vents, though.Can i have a bearded dragon in a rabbit cage?
Nope, you wont keep the heat in the cage and the lizard could escape. Not only that but the cage can't stand the heat needed for a bearded dragon.

Would it be alright if I let my rabbit loose when I'm outside since I can see her and the yard is enclosed?
Would it be harmful to her if she ate outside grasses? She is about 3 months old.Would it be alright if I let my rabbit loose when I'm outside since I can see her and the yard is enclosed?
Not at all. She would probably love it. I let my rabbit out with me and she hops around and nibbles the grass, wildflowers, and plays with my cat.Would it be alright if I let my rabbit loose when I'm outside since I can see her and the yard is enclosed?
My own rabbit has free run of the house 24/7 but is very nervous of being outside. He will bolt for the door when it is open so I have given up on this idea. The only potential problem with this is that since your rabbit is not used to fresh grass it may upset his stomach. Try limiting his time out to about 10 to 15 minutes at a time until he has built up the proper bacteria in his gut to digest it. Diarrhea can be very dangerous to young animals.
she can still fit under the fence, be careful
it's alright to let her out and she can eat grass, just keep a very close eye on her and dogs that may walk by...
Your rabbit would be perfectly fine as long as you can keep an eye on her and there is no other pet to bother her. The grasses would be beneficial to her health.
Since you're going to watch her, you will be able to stop her if she tries to dig her way under the fence. It should be alright if there are no bushes, crevices or places she can get back into where you can't get her out. A good idea would be to get one of those outside kennels. It's made of wire and gives small animals the room to stretch out and run around a little while they're outside.
Don't know how big your yard is, but keep in mind that if it's a big yard, it might take a while catch her when you're ready. They are fast.
As long as the grass hasn't been treated with chemicals it should be fine for her to eat.
Sure as long as you keep an eye on her she would probably love it
don't see anything wrong with it. she may be a little hard to catch once you let her go though.
Make sure there are no spaces in the fence and no threats to the rabbit. Grasses are okay, just don't give him/her too much vegetables and fruits, or plants.clown mask

Young wild rabbit got clobbered by my kitten on my enclosed porch - help? What should I do?
I just managed to get the bunny in an empty kennel. My kitten was trying to chew off its leg, and it got away from her. There is quite a bit of fur and skin that has been bitten off by my kitten (ps, she never goes out, except for on our enclosed porch. The porch has very high ( 8 foot stone walls) all the way around, with one gated door. I think this little rabbit sqeezed under the gate of the door. Anyway, I now have the kitten inside, away from the little bunny rabbit who is still on the porch in the enclosed kennel. It has an obvious wound, what should I do? It is injured. I want to put neosporin on it.Young wild rabbit got clobbered by my kitten on my enclosed porch - help? What should I do?
Cats are natural hunters, so I'm not surprised that this happened.
I'm glad you were able to get the rabbit out of harms way.
Neosporin will be a good start. Make sure the wound is clean, put the neosporin on it, and then a small bandage. You don't want the rabbit licking off the medicine.
Keep a check on the wound. You will notice infection by swelling of the wound and puss. Also, if you touch the leg and the rabbit sqeals. (they do make noises...I used to have a rabbit. They will squeal)
If you can, I highly suggest taking the rabbit to the vet. They can double check the wound and make sure the rabbit is in good health. The doctor might also give it a shot of antibiotics as a precautionary measure, which will help the rabbit.
Also, while you're caring for the rabbit it will need water and rabbit food pellets. The pellets can be bought at any local ';feed-n-seed'; or at most pet shops that sell rabbits. The rabbit will also need a small ';salt lick'; if it stays there for a long time. Not table salt, but a round thing of salt used for caged/tame rabbits. You can also get these at the same place as the rabbit pellets.
Good luck.Young wild rabbit got clobbered by my kitten on my enclosed porch - help? What should I do?
take it to petsmart they will tell you what to do
cool
Unless you are going to keep the bunny then you need to call your local animal control or ASPCA, they will be happy to come pick up the bunny and they will tend to his/her wounds until she/he is better.
Wrap his leg up with gauze and tape. And keep him till he
heals you can feed him carrots,lettuce etc; or just buy
rabbit food. When you give him water make sure you
dip his head in it! This is a must or he wont know about it!
Neosporin does work on animals. I would keep some on it and hang on to the bunny until the wound is scabbed over enough that infection won't get it. He will be fine... oh yeah and food and water...
take it to animal rescue
Call the a vet about the Neosporin I'm not sure it is safe for animals. Also ask the vet if there is a place that cares for injured wild animals. There is an extensive park system where I live, and one of them is a clinic for injured wild animals . . . a vet should know. The bunny is probably very traumatized. Get it to someone who knows how to properly care for it.
Call your local humane society or aspca to find out who they use for wildlife rehab. Rabbits are different than ppl so neosporin alone might not work. Chances are the rabbit will try to bite you and then they'll have to kill it to check for rabies.
take it to a vet.thenmake a little area for ur rabbit to play in and make sure ur kitten cant get in

As the first article, above, says, if it's skin was broken by your cat, you need to get to a rabbit-savvy vet, because cats' mouths carry a disease which can kill rabbits - the vet will stop this disease by giving antibiotics.
Very best of luck to you and to the little bunn.
You are a good person, but there are two problems that need to be addressed here. First, that is a wild rabbit you have there, frightened and probably it will die of fright if you don't act quickly. Wild rabbits can actually die of fright being caged and handled that way. I would contact a wildlife rehab. You can find one on line in your area or call the local animal shelter and ask them. Get it to someone who can care for it properly. Second, do not pick it up or touch it again, not only because of scaring it to death, but because it probably will bite or scratch you. I can tell you from experience you don't want that to happen. Those little guys can hurt you! Good luck to you and the bunny!
Honey, if you want to keep the rabbit then you should doctor it and get a nice cage for it, feed it, etc. If you don't want to keep it, pour peroxide on the wound and when it's dry, go ahead and dab some neosporine on it then set it free.
Let your kitten finish it off and throw the carcass away.

My dwarf rabbit has a hard lump on the of its body attached to its ribs the size of a golf ball. Any solutions
She is otherwise healthy and happyMy dwarf rabbit has a hard lump on the of its body attached to its ribs the size of a golf ball. Any solutions
It is probably a tumor. I dint know about rabbits, but i found a lump on my dog just like your rabbit's and we took him into the vet and it was a fatty tumor. Fatty tumors are harmless tumors that form when dogs get old. It could just be something like that. You should probably take your rabbit to a vet just in case it is serious. Good luck!My dwarf rabbit has a hard lump on the of its body attached to its ribs the size of a golf ball. Any solutions
get to a vet and soon its a tumor don't wait to long or it can get worst!!!
that is either a tumor or an abscess, either way, VET! NOW!

Can a rabbit last 14 hours in a carry on cage?or will he die?
well i go around the whole Europian countrys as i live here .
so wil he survive in the cAr?Can a rabbit last 14 hours in a carry on cage?or will he die?
I think it should be fine, as long as he's not in the sun and it isn't too hot.
He should have access to water, food, and maybe toys if he uses them.
If possible, it would be best to take him out every once in awhile and cuddle him, clean out his cage if he urinates, ect.
You could even leave an old t-shirt of yours in the cage with him so that your scent relaxes him and he'll feel like he has company.
Just a few suggestions, I hope it works out!Can a rabbit last 14 hours in a carry on cage?or will he die?
As long as the cage is lined with shavings or straw for bedding and left with water, he/she will be fine! Also, make sure the rabbit is not in the trunk and crack the window in the back seat. Try not to leave it in the car for extended periods of time with the car not moving or the air on because it can get too hot!!!
Just as a tip and because you're in the west. You should probably freeze a water bottle or pop bottle and put it in the cage with the rabbit. It will help keep it cool. You could also use a mist bottle with water in it for the same purpose and mist the rabbit periodically.
Otherwise, the rabbit should do fine in the cage.
Honestly, that's torture in my eyes.
Please don't leave your bun in a car for 14 hours, he will either suffer seriously/die. The heat out here is unbareable atm (I'm in London), even my buns couldn't stay in my room with a fan and the windows wide open!
He'll get very hot and stressed, possibly suffocate.
Yes he will survive, but make sure the cage is clean and that he does get some exersize.

Purebred lionhead rabbit baby.Now it is displaying some unusual behavior?
where he digs at the bottom of the cage as if to get out. then he also has a sister which he constantly try's to mount it is very unnerving.what should i do to correct this behavior?Purebred lionhead rabbit baby.Now it is displaying some unusual behavior?
The digging is just him having fun - playing. The mounting is a problem.
Separate them. They can live in nearby cages/pens or you can have them neutered/spayed.
If you plan on leaving them intact to breed you still need to separate them. You don't breed females until they are at least 6 months old. You don't breed brother/sister pairs, either. mother/son or father/daughter breedings are okay with rabbits but done with some knowledge or you can get some bad results.
Don't be careless and just let your rabbits breed. You little girl can get pregnant very young and she'd be really bad off having babies before she's fully grown. Read a good book and do it responsibly - knowledgably with a purpose and a plan.Purebred lionhead rabbit baby.Now it is displaying some unusual behavior?
Either get him neutered or put him in his own cage.You might also put up an outdoor pen for them,so they can run around and dig for a few hours a day.

Can a rabbit get pregnant at 13 weeks?
Ok my doe who is 13 weeks old got in with my buck who is 16 weeks old, not sure if he can get her pregnant either?
i have bred rabbits before but im not if they can this young.
if she can and ends up pregnant is there anything i can do to help her?Can a rabbit get pregnant at 13 weeks?
Try this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit#Repr鈥?/a>Can a rabbit get pregnant at 13 weeks?
the best thing to do is to seperate them because yes they could breed though it is not certain they will yet it wont be long before they are old enough.
if she is bred the best thing to do is around 28 days after you seperate them put a small box in for her with straw or hay or shavings (not pine) in for her to use as a nest box if you see she is pulling fur which is normal but not putting it in the box then place it in there yourself but make sure each time you handle the box once it is in you pet momma first to get her smell on your hand
then around 30-32 days after breeding depending on the time of day she gets bred she will have the litter of kits but with her age and it being a first litter she may not even have them in the box which would not be a good thing if you see that soon enough and your handle to get a pet or two on her so you have her smell on your hand you can place the babies in the box and hope she finishes then just watch to make sure she goes into the box at least once a day rabbits only feed their kits once a day
you have to make sure you have her smell on your hand/s if you have to touch a baby to put it into the box because if not she most likely will kill it
after about a week you can start putting just a bit of food each day in the box for the babies to nibble on and around 3 weeks they will start coming out of the box and eatting with momma and still nuse once a day from her at five weeks they are fully weaned or you can pull them from momma's cage and that is when you would find homes for them if you email me at handsome_bill2000@yahoo.com with what kind of rabbit and that i can even tell you the amount to feed and how much and how fast to up food for if she is preg
