how do you like Rabbits as pets? Do you think it is easy to keep them at home? Wat kind of environment is required for them?

Ive never raised rabbits but what i've seen is cages above ground, hardware cloth floor, and partitioned to keep them separate bucks from does.

We had rabbits twice. The first time was a disaster; much more successful with round two.

We had a darling gray English Angora appropriately named Wimbledon. He lived in a two story rabbit condo in our laundry room. He had a darling personality and even liked to snuggle a bit. Every morning I would let him out and ask "Banana Wimbledon?", he would hop upstairs to the kitchen and wait for me at the same place every morning. He was litter box trained - we kept pellets in it. All in all a great pet. I do prefer my Cavalier -Gracie though

Hope that helps. ~Andrea

P.S. They must have protection from any direct sun.....hence our disastrous first experience.

Rabbits can make very nice pets. Here is a great website that details care and such. http://www.wisconsinhrs.org/Care%20Guidelines.htm

That could be applied to dogs and cats as well. It's just they have been domesticated longer

hmm to cats and Dogs? i do not think so because cats and dogs belong to homes and they love to return back home if isolated.

You can't find much better manure with which to enrich your soil than rabbit droppings.
