Sigh.... spoon feeding..... Guinea pig care can be found in the GP Thread.... rabbit care in the Rabbit Thread.... is it that hard to research?

Anyway, is your bed room that big to house a rabbit or guinea pig properly? Coz they do need space.... and their pee..... if kept in a room, it would stink up. How about your health?

You also have to think about the place..... they allow pets? If you get caught and ask you to either move out or give your pets away, which would you do? Sorry to be so direct but then I have seen many students jump into getting a pet before really thinking about the consequences. Some are great pet owners, some dump them in the end..... excuses are management don't let, house mate hate pets, poo and pee too stinky..... alot of excuses.

Both rabbits and guinea pigs are not easy to upkeep in a small room, and food and bedding..... and the smell?

Both GP and Rabbit threads have informative 1st pages..... with your attitude like this, how to be a pet keeper? Just coz we don't have faith in you then you wanna close the thread?

People here advising you but you turn the wrong way. When someone is a bit hard on you then you leave..... sigh.... then how to keep a pet? Quite a number of people here are students, even me. Before I get a pet, I Goggle information, then I join forums to read what they have posted, all the infos that are mentioned in caresheets.... if you are determined to have a pet, you won't give up so easily.

Anyway, my previous post was to see how well you can cope with a pet in such conditions.... but you failed to answer properly.

i tried asking alot of ppl for days already alright. If i am irresponsible i would have throw my diabetic dog aside. if i am irresponsible i would have thrown my hamster aside.

I am sorry but i really want to rear a bunny. I just want to get a second opinion in anythg.

i just want a companion.

just somthing to keep me company.


Added on July 3, 2008, 8:13 pmi am very sorry for the attitude. i am just kind of agitated. However there are ppl who rear rabbits in a room..do they?

My plan is to keep a huge plastic container. is that okie?

i tried finding in the cage but they din include alternative method.

Ok, so you are a caring person.... but are you living in an area which allows pets? Coz I did have friends who have to give up their pets just because management chase them out..... My point is you have to make sure you can have a pet. Don't just say to keep you company, you also must consider the welfare of the rabbit or guinea pig.

Plastic container? If you are saying storage box.... NO.... never big enough. For a rabbit or guinea pig, they need big cages to be happy and comfortable. ZooZone2 is like RM140.... 3ft, which is like minimum for indoor keeping. You would be needing to clean the bedding every 2 to 3 days because of their pee.

A rabbit is easier to have because they can be litter trained..... but for indoor keeping, best is zoozone2 cage and yes, it is about Rm140. If you get normal cages, there is a possibility of pee and poo getting out of your cage or leak at the bottom.
Keeping a pet is never cheap. Must think about cages, hay, pellets, fresh food..... did you have all that in mind?
