Indoor Rabbits

[p_anda]

So I assume your dogs live outside then all year round? If they don't, I would think about this again. Do you have enough space in your home to keep the rabbits and the dogs safely apart? Is there one safe room in the house where the rabbits can stretch their legs and run around without having to be restrained to a playpen? Even dwarf rabbits need a lot of space.

If you're going to keep them inside, a hutch is not necessary, so you'll be saving a bit of money there, but I think if you're between guinea pigs and rabbits, guinea pigs are definitely cheaper to buy and need slightly less space. Guinea pigs do need a lot of fresh vegetables though because they can't make their own vitamin C. My friend had a guinea pig that lived on its own in a large tank with nothing but shavings [yes I know, but this was 15 years ago and we were very young children] and lived to the ripe age of 8. I remember it being very entertaining and sweet.

My aunty goes into sainsburys and snaps the stalks off all the broccoli in there because people don't want it anyway..bit cheeky but nobody stopped her!
I think guineas would be easier to keep i the house, but your dogs will still try to get to them through the cage most likely.. my dog is a massive softy and she was still obsessed with piggies.

My local veg stall gives me stalks ans leaves of cauliflower and brocoli and stuff like that, my rabbit eats more veg than the pigs she eats loads but she doesn't like hay or grass so she needs loads of veg , vet says there is nothing wrong with her she is just odd
