Are Rabbits High Maintenance?
Rabbits are high maintenance and require daily care.
Most pets, in fact, also need daily care, but rabbits are much more sensitive to changes than the average pet. It takes a daily commitment to make sure a rabbit is in good health, has unlimited hay and water, and a clean cage.

Considering this, are rabbits hard to care for?

Many people don't realize how hard it is to take care of a rabbit. Rabbits can grow up to weigh 20 pounds—that means they need a lot of space! Bunnies need certain foods, like grass, special hay, and fresh vegetables, and sometimes they need to go to a veterinarian who specializes in rabbits.

Likewise, are rabbits good pets to have? Rabbits make great pets. In general rabbits require appropriate housing, exercise, socialisation and diet for good welfare. Some breeds of rabbits, particularly the longer haired rabbits, may require daily grooming.

Consequently, how much maintenance is a bunny?

For one rabbit, I would expect to spend about $40 a month for some bedding, hay and pellets, fresh vegetables, and some treats and toys. But this number can vary greatly depending on if you buy bedding and hay in bulk, provide organic, regular, or grow your own greens, and what kind of treats and toys you buy or make.

How long can rabbits be left alone?

two days
