Can you keep a mini lop rabbit in a 10 gallon fish tank?

i want to get another pet that can fit in a 10 gallon fish tank and the mini lop is small and the kind i want to have would it fit in a 10 glon fish tank and be happy? and also i how much does it cost to own a mini lop?(yearly cost) and do you have to take mini lops t the vet?Can you keep a mini lop rabbit in a 10 gallon fish tank?
Absolutely not. A small rabbit would need at least 2' by 4' floor space. Mini lops are not at all guarenteed to be small, in fact my neighbor has four that are huge. It depends on how pure the genetics are, and well bred rabbits are very expensive, and in my opinion, not really worth it.





Here's a site that might help you with determining annual costs:

You MUST take all living animals to a vet.Can you keep a mini lop rabbit in a 10 gallon fish tank?
No, rabbits need to be in a cage with good air circulation, a fish tank would not provide that. A mini lop would grow to big for an enclosure of that size.
I'm glad you thinking ahead to what you might need for your rabbit. It shows a lot of good thought on your part that you are investigating each of these things before you actually make the purchase.





The size of the tank would just be too small for your rabbit. I would recommend at least something 18'; X 24';, but even that would be a little small for a mini lop. 24'; x 24'; would be best.





I would stay away from glass cages. Your rabbit will have a difficult time moving around on a glass bottom. This could result in injuries to your rabbit, including spay leg.





Because you only have one rabbit, the costs for raising that rabbit will be much higher than someone that has several rabbits. The reason is most breeders will buy 50lb bags of food for $10-$15. Because the food is only good for 30 days, you'll have to buy much smaller bags of food. A 5lb bag at a pet store will probably cost about $5. That food would last about two weeks. So you are looking at $125 just in basic food.





Your rabbit should also get hay as part of its diet. If you have farmers near you you can get hay for $2-$10 a bale. Which would last a long time.





You will also need to get a cage, and the appropriate dishes for your rabbit. I would recommend you look at the ARBA website and find a rabbit show near you. Usually their are cage dealers at those shows, and they will cost much less than in a store. You could probably get a cage for about $30. You'll also need to purchase grooming supplies.





Here in the US we do not have vaccinations for rabbits. Usually, you will not have to take them to the vet. You'll have to clip the nails yourself about once a month. If you rabbit gets sick, you could be looking at $60 or more to go to the vet.





Based on all that you are probably looking at a total cost of about $250.





I didn't mention toys, because to be honest with you I wouldn't buy any. You can provide many things for free that your bunny would enjoy. We have a list on our website.





Good luck with your bunny, they are a wonderful pet!
wtf no u should get arrested for animal abuse
no...bunnies need room to run..i wouldn't keep it in a fish tank..that is like an insult!
no i would not recomend keeping a bunny in a fish tank, if you want to keep a pet in a tank i would recomend a small rodant such as a mouse or hamster, or a small reptile such as a small lizard or frogs, rabbits need to graze on grass, and have space to hop around!
NO. They need room to at least walk around and stretch. I have had my rabbit for 6 months and I have already spent around $350. And that is without having him neutered, which costs around $170. I take my rabbit to the vet to get his nails trimmed, once a year for a check-up, and once to get him neutered.
no! they need 2x that much min
No - no! I'm sure you love your mini lop, but honey, bunnies need love, room , food and a place to go potty that isn't inside a cage. Use a wire cage lined with plastic, newspaper and a small animal bedding (I like Yesterday's News or a similar product). You shouldn't have to take the bunny to the vet unless he gets sick. Just the cost of food and a few treats now and then. Give your adorable pet the care he needs and he'll love you back. I've had a bunny I rescued from an animal control service about 10 years ago. CoCo - he is a dutch bunny and is very affectionate. He likes to get out of his cage for some exercise and chasing the two cats I have. They all get along great. He gets a lot of holding and petting - they need human interaction.
fish tanks are for fish and reptiles not rabbits.
Absolutely not! Rabbits need to be kept in RABBIT HUTCHES not fish tanks! It would be cruel and the rabbit would be miserable in such an enclosed space, not to mention that they need good ventilation, which a fish tank would not provide.


And you DO have to take them to the vets, just like any other animal...


Good Lord why are people so stupid?!?
absolutly not, they need lots of room to move, you can keep them in a backyard or frontyard, or you can get them a bigger cage but that one is too small.
