So, digit of my teachers had a accepted (not dwarf) black rabbit. She rattling idolized him. When his cervix became busted and he died (probably from stress) she was devastated. Ever since then, she has been not as cheerful as she was before he died. We (our class) were intellection of effort her digit or two. NOTE: We DID communicate her if it was ok if we did, and she said yes.
Her cony lasted 7 years, so she apparently took beatific tending of it.
The coney that died was a standard-size rabbit, but she exclusive had one.

So, my questions are:
1. Does attractive tending of 2 accepted rabbits outlay twice as such (vet, food, fodder etc.)?
2. How most 2 faerie rabbits?
3. Can you study the demeanors of a faerie and accepted rabbit?
4. The collection wants to acquire it from a pet shop, but I feature no. Since this is technically a gift, should we buy, adopt, or acquire from a breeder?
5. She does work, so do you conceive 2 rabbits is likewise much?
6.Should we intend her 1 or digit rabbits?
She had 1 cony terminal time.
I hit also heard bunies are ethnic and NEED A BUDDY from individual places, so idk whut.
Note that I am NOT the mortal effort the rabbit, someone added is. I proven to persuade them to not buy, but they don’t undergo most the cony mills obvy.

1. yes i have 2 rabbits and they can be very expensive! especially for sterilization!
2. two dwarf rabbits would be exactly the same as two standard rabbits
3. dwarf rabbits have a smaller cage, lop eared rabbits have better temperments, pretty much the same
4. breeder or adoption, please no pet shops!! buy her a mixed breed that will cost like $20 from a breeder. check out adoption, then look for breeders in the paper.
5. two rabbits is alot of work! not to mention hardly as affectionate! get one and it will bond alot with your teacher rather than the other rabbit. 2 rabbits also become very territorial! even if they are both girls! and if you get a boy and a girl you would have to separate them until you get the boy sterilized(cheaper, very horny) anyway to prevent any unwanted litters.
hope this helped:)
email me for any further questions

1. This depends on if you’re going to let them be inside or outside and if you’re going to let them be in the same cage. I have 1 Giant Chinchilla and 1 Dutch (standard) and while they are great friends (and new parents, today!) they have to stay in their own cages. They just need their space. Most of the time rabbits do, anyway. If you’re keeping them inside, you won’t need to go to a vet. Any vet wanting to save you some money will tell you that. Because they’re not living outside you don’t have to get them shots for Rabies and Tularemia. And if you’re keeping them in separate cages (pretty wise) then you won’t have to get them neutered. This eliminates the need for a vet altogether. As for hay, they need low quality hay–so if you have a lawn or know someone who does, whenever they cut the grass, collecting the dry grass clippings is all you need. If you’re litter box training them–which is easy–you’ll need to invest about $18/month for two bags of litter and as far as food goes, if you’re using pellets it’s going to be about $6/month. A grand total of about $26/month. Think you can swing it?
2. As I indicated up there, I have a giant rabbit and a standard sized rabbit. Both have the same appetite–maybe a little less on the standard sized rabbit’s part. However, they can definitely keep up with eachother.
3. Dwarf rabbits are typically a little more skiddish than standard rabbits. And GIANT rabbits are much more docile than all the others. The Giant I have is a big sweet lazy pile of gray fur–and he’s loving, too. Usually the smaller breeds will be harder to ‘tame’ and ’socialize’ because they just generally dislike being picked up and held as much as the larger breeds do. I also have been hearing that dwarfs are just a little big more wild than the rest. HOWEVER–this really does depend on the individual rabbit and how they are treated. Nature vs. Nurture and Nurture always wins out.
4. Do not get it from a pet shop because you’re likely to get stiffed. The pet shop will invest their money in large rabbit farms where only the ‘prettiest’ are bought. While this makes them money, the rabbits are typically wild and unsocialized and end up just making the owner miserable–because he/she doesn’t have time to socialize it. Go with a breeder. Breeders are going to weed out people if they don’t meet the criteria and spend more one on one time with the rabbits, ensuring that they are healthy, handling them, etc; HOWEVER, if the breeder’s first question is “what color do you want?” leave and go somewhere else. He/she doesn’t know what he/she is doing. You always want to make sure the breeder understands what type of situation the rabbit will be living in so that if he/she is reputable, he/she can help you pick out a rabbit with a good temperament and personality for that kind of lifestyle. (Some people might suggest adopting because it’s human, however, you honestly don’t know what you’re getting when you adopt anything. You really don’t know if the rabbit has any kind of diseases, if the rabbit is a biter/scratcher because this is a very difficult habit to break a rabbit of, or what the temperament is. It is like if you go into a restaurant and buy a laptop. The person selling it doesn’t know anything about it, and you don’t, either.)
5. No. Two rabbits is not too many, as long as she has the space and patience.
Just make sure that if you’re looking for two bunnies to bond, a male and female are easiest to bond together–and you make sure that they are 6 weeks old, atleast, and that you tell the teacher that it is infact a male and a female.
I would also like to note here–that if you wanted to, and I’m just saying this purely hypothetically–you could give her a guinea pig and a bunny instead of two bunnies. (Male guinea pig and a female holland lop) this way, you won’t have to worry about spaying them, vet care isn’t a problem, and they can stay in the same cage. Plus, they are both community animals, so they will both love and appreciate eachothers company. (Probably have to get the guinea pig from a pet shop, though. Just make sure it isn’t sick or sickly looking when you get it.)
