^yes, just buy a cheap bookcase n convert it.. Needs a little diy, but works wonders, my rabbit's having fun! Just remember to but womethin on the front of it... Someone ws having a blonde moment n left the bookcase open, and was wondering why her rabbits were constantly on the floor.. :P
so, a bookcase with slides, ladders, tubes... :)How can I build an indoor rabbit hutch that is tall and slender like a bookcase with ramps?
With wood, a hammer and nails.
Maybe you should try getting a cheap bookcase and adding on wood for ramps.
Well, you'll probably make your rabbit go mad if you do that.. that little space....

Is It Safe To Give My Rabbit Hay With Dried Up Peppermint Plants?
I bought it from a pet shop and I was just wandering if it is dangerous.Is It Safe To Give My Rabbit Hay With Dried Up Peppermint Plants?
Its ok, the fact that its in a pet shop should be confirmation enough but I admire you for being careful. Though rabbits don't like changes in the diet.Is It Safe To Give My Rabbit Hay With Dried Up Peppermint Plants?
Should be fine. The question is whether your rabbit will like it.
I don't see why not.
no its fine.

How can i ';Potty Train'; my rabbit at home is it possible? or willl i have to take it to the vet?
and does it have to be spayed and neutered to be ';trained?';How can i ';Potty Train'; my rabbit at home is it possible? or willl i have to take it to the vet?
true! haha they make a mess.How can i ';Potty Train'; my rabbit at home is it possible? or willl i have to take it to the vet?
I've had two males rabbits in the past, both neutered and both litter box trained. I have read that it is better, and even recommended, to have your rabbit spayed or neutered. It will be easier to litter box train and it won't spray.
I kept a litter box in their cage in the corner they used as a bathroom. That helped them get used to using it. After that, I would let them loose in a small confined room with the litter box placed in a corner. I did not leave them alone; I watched them and would put them in the box if they seemed like they had to go. They are creatures of habit so if they prefer a different corner, move the litter box there. It really didn't take them that long to learn and use the litter box consistently.
With consistency and patience, you can successfully train a rabbit. Do not get angry or punish the rabbit for an accident. Just like a cat, put them in the litter box if it makes a mistake. Good luck! Here are some websites for you to review.
Depending on the age of your rabbit if your rabbit is younger it will be easy but if it is older it may be more difficult with my rabbit you can buy a corner litterbox made for a rabbit or use a little box put a treat inthere so it gets use to going in there and put it inthere once in awhile it wil get used to it and start going in there it doees not have to be spayed or neutered
get a litter box put some liteer at the bottom( only enough to cover the bottom) then buy some hay or grass ( the kind for rabbit) you can find it at your local pet store. put the grass or hay on top of that. rabbits tend to eat where they poop, so he should go in it. just drop him in it a few times and them wha la! he's trained and won't poop everywhere and anywhere. we use thius at the humane society where i work.
bunnys and rabbits...just poop anywhere they will even sometimes eat it!
it is IMPOSIBLE to potty train a bunny or rabbit

How much time day does a rabbit graze each day?
I have a rabbit that comes in my yard every couple of days (and I see him neighbor's yards, too). He is too cute and I love watching him eat out my window as I eat dinner or whatnot.
They are most active in the evening and night, I hear.How much time day does a rabbit graze each day?
My guess is probably 3-5 hours, morning, evening hours.
Daytime is spent counting sheep.

How many foot pounds of energy does it take to take down a rabbit ?
You can kill a rabbit with 6 ft lbs of energy with an air rifle.
http://www.airgun.co.uk/Understanding_Te…
However 12 lbs works best and most the adult air rifles can put out that and more.
And air rifles are not all toys the adult rifles send a .177 cal pellet over 1200 ft per second. The have large caliber air rifles including a .50 cal;
http://www.airgunsbbguns.com/Career_Drag…
People have been KILLED with an air rifle.
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/article…
I have killed rabbits with pump up air pistols and rifles in both .22 cal and .177. I had a Crossman .177 air rifle that barely made 620 ft per sec and killed rabbits up to 20 yards with brain shots. And all .22 rim fire ammo worked except for the CB cap .22 rim fire. I had a few of them actually bounce off a rabbit at 10 feet.
I wanted to ad that with about 40 ft lbs of energy the .22 long rifle can kill a rabbit a 100 yardsa away and more if you can hit its head. I have killed small game with my ruger 10/22 up to 130 yards.How many foot pounds of energy does it take to take down a rabbit ?
I've taken rabbits out at 30-50 yards with my tuned air rifles. My lowest powered one took a rabbit, it puts out
13.7flbs and shoots at 650-660fps. It's a .22 cal.
Remember, It also depends on how far the shot is taken, the longer the shot, the more power is needed. Also, shot placement is also critical. (head, between eye and ear, and chest shot are better for rabbits)How many foot pounds of energy does it take to take down a rabbit ?
Well we have a bit of disagreement on air rifle hunting! Now I do not dispute air rifle-target’s knowledge about punching paper targets with air guns. I went to your group and noticed “hunting” was not a topic. Well here is a list of the things I have killed with an air rifle in over a half century WITH BRAIN SHOTS;
Small birds, quail, grouse, pigeons, pheasants, ducks, geese, turkey, rabbits, squirrels, rats, groundhog, prairie dog, raccoon, marten, skunk, possum, ferial cats and on badger. And trust me a badger is one tough cookie but at 20 feet I put a .22 cal pellet through his ear and he dropped dead where he stood.
I agree the .177 is not suitable for things larger than a squirrel or rabbit. And you HAVE to hit their brain a body shot will lead to a suffering animal. Some like raccoons, need to be shot in the ear or in the back of the skull where it’s thin, a frontal skull shot will just glance off unless you have a VERY powerful air rifle.
In Europe air guns are used for hunting and have been for decades same goes for Japan.
Here are people who hunt with air guns.

Here is some air gun hunting history facts scroll down to air guns; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunting_wea…
Quote; “Air rifles have long been used as hunting weapons, for well over 200 years. Lewis %26amp; Clark, on their early journey through the Western United States, carried a repeating air rifle for use as a hunting weapon,”… “Air rifles are well suited for hunting small game such as squirrels and rabbits in commonly available powers. Such hunting is widely practiced in the United States and in the UK”…. “Large game air rifles have experienced a resurgence in the last several decades, and are now capable of taking all game in North America…”
Now what else will it take to prove the right air gun with the right pellet placement will take game? I left out air-shotguns that are used in Japan to hunt waterfowl.
Now back to the person asking the question. Air guns are NOT a toy they can kill people and have. Learn gun safety, also learn the limits of your gun. Start with paper and get real tight groups and see to it you can put all your shot in a quarter size group or less. Always aim for the ear canal or back of skull; you have to hit the brain on small game like rabbits.
And read what these hunter on the links above have to say about hunting with an air rifle. As others have said you want to kill it not wound it and have it suffer.
I will guess at 12, we'll just see by the other answers that come up.
I don't know about ';foot pounds'; but a .22LR from most rifles and handguns will do the trick. A few of my friend have switched to the .17 HMR for racoons so I'm sure those will work as well.
it doest need much if you hit it in the head, i use a .22lr for shots under 100 yards
I'd say 20 lbs is going to give you a clean, humane kill. That works out to 800 fps with a .22 caliber 14.3 gr pellet. Forget .177 for hunting.
it has been done with 12 ft lbs
the answer may surprise you. the average pellet fired from a pellet gun travels between 500 and 1000 fps (feet per second). at 500fps, the round carries approximately 8joules of energy (enough to put a hole in an aluminum can). conversely a round fired from a standard air-soft handgun travels an average of 250fps (4 joules or enough to ';shoot your eye out';) but rarely breaks the skin of most adult humans. rabbits have very thin (or easily damaged skin) and the energy from the impact of this plastic 6mm pellet can stop a rabbit's heart if you hit it in the right area (behind the shoulder blade). there is a formula on how to figure out what that is in foot pounds but I'll have to look that up.
the foot pounds of energy that is produced by a .22 caliber bullet fired from a rim fire gun, is ample. Anything less, will most times only wound the rabbit, allowing it to get away, then go someplace , to die a slow death.
if you are going to shoot ANY animal, do it with a weapon, that WILL kill, it in a very timely manner, not just wound it.
Pellet guns, are NOT legitimate hunting guns. but more of a TOY

How do i know if my rabbit is pregnant Please Help?
I went to the bathroom and came back and the male was on top of her and fell of like he was parlayed and now she Is acting like a jerk to me some times and my friends all the time.How do i know if my rabbit is pregnant Please Help?
If you have a male and female rabbit you can be 99% certain the female is pregnant.
It is really not a good idea to breed rabbits at it can be very dangerous if you're not sure what you're doing. How long ago was this? You should take them both to the vet and they might be able to do an emergency spay for the female to stop her having babies.
My best advice is get them both spayed and neutered. They will be a lot happier and healthier and you won't have to deal with finding homes for all the babies. If you don't keep males and females separate they will continue to breed with each other and soon you'll be overrun! Rabbits are so much friendlier when they've been neutered, less smelly and they live a lot longer.
By the way the male falling off her like that is normal after they've mated. But definitely see a vet as soon as you can. =)How do i know if my rabbit is pregnant Please Help?
hi there!! wat age are the rabbits?? it depends on the age of the rabbits!! i will get back to you when u give me the info about them!! why i asked for there age was that a doe has to be under a yaer old when you mate her because when they become a year there pelvic bone fues together and it can be hard for her to give birth but hope she should be ok as she is just on the year mark! count 30 days from the day he got in with her she will start to make a nest if she is! it sounds like she is!! good luck!!! let me know how you get on!!
Wait a while and monitor her behaviour and take her to the vets if she grows bigger or acts strangely.
