Legoshi, applying fur to the bed.

I love that his eyes are almost the same color as his fur.

With Easter approaching, just a little PSA not to buy or give rabbits for Easter.

Yes, they're very very cute, and yes, you can get some adorable pictures of them in Easter baskets. But rabbits are not toys. They are little living beings. They need to be cared for and not discarded. They are not starter pets, and they are not good pets for children. A child cannot be the primary caregiver for a rabbit. They're very fragile, have complicated diets, and can be quite expensive. Rabbits can live to be 10+ years, they are not a short term commitment. They are not low maintenance, and can't live in the kind of cage you most often see advertised for rabbits. They either need a large exercise pen or to be free roamed, aka let them live in your home with you like you would a cat or dog. They are very easily litter trained and can become a member of the family just like any pet if taken care of properly.

Rabbits are very social animals and require a lot of attention, they can't be left in a small cage until your kid comes home from school or you come home for work to play with them for an hour. Rabbits are also not cuddly. They're prey animals, and slow to trust. Getting picked up scares them and they need a lot of time to warm up to you. A rabbit that's constantly picked up or grabbed can become aggressive out of fear, you need to approach them differently than you would cat or dog.

The majority of rabbits given as Easter gifts are either surrendered to shelters or abandoned outside. Please please never set a domestic rabbit free in the wild. Domestic rabbits are not wild rabbits, they do not know how to survive. They will likely die within days of being released.

They can be wonderful pets, but there is a lot of misinformation and misunderstandings about how to care for them, and there are a lot of abandoned rabbits. Most toys and treats marketed for rabbits in pet stores are actually not safe for them.

If you are considering getting a pet rabbit, I am begging you to do your research. Understand the commitment for what it is. A few great resources for learning about proper rabbit care are:

Rat Care: Housing

A major part of owning pet rats is determining how to house them. This involves not just the cage, but also what enrichment you provide them.

Cages:

A rat cage always need cross ventilation, which means that it needs to have at least two sides with bars or mesh that air can flow through. Because rats are so prone to respiratory infections, cross ventilation is a necessity to keep them healthy. The cage should also have a deep pan for digging, and should be chew resistant. The bars should have a spacing of 1/2 inch or smaller, or else babies or small females may be able to squeeze out. You also need to make sure that the cage is big enough for your current rats, and any rats you plan on adding in the future. Cage calculators like this one are a super helpful resource to figure out how many rats a certain cage can hold. The usual estimate is 2.0-2.5 cubic feet per rat. Just make sure to subtract one from whatever number it gives you, to account for the space that decorations and toys take up.

Because rats need such high ventilation and so much space, glass aquariums are not suitable for rats. These can easily cause respiratory issues because of their lack of ventilation. Similarly, CritterTrail type cages are also unsuitable because of their small size.

Critter Nation or Savic Suite cages are perfect for rats, since they have ventilation on all four sides and are huge. A single CN can hold around 5-6 rats maximum, and a double CN can hold up to 10-12. I personally wouldn’t stretch those maximums if possible, but that should give you an idea of how big they are. These cages will need to modified with a deep pan for loose bedding on the bottom, to give rats proper digging enrichment.

[ID: A photo of two Critter Nation cages side by side. On the left is a smaller cage with black bars, wheels, and shelf inside. On the right is a similar cage that looks like two of the smaller cages stacked on top of each other. /end ID]

Rabbit cages are also good options, but they do need to be covered with hardware cloth since they usually have a 1-inch bar spacing. However, if you’re willing to do this DIY, they can often be a cheaper option than buying a full CN or SS cage. If you’re really wanting to save money and create a cage yourself, I highly recommend bin cages. A 50-gallon bin (modified into a bin cage) is an appropriate permanent cage for a pair of rats, and bin cages also work amazingly as hospital or quarantine cages. There are some guides on how to make bin cages here and here - the most important thing to note is that the hardware cloth should be inside the plastic (with the sharp edges trimmed down), otherwise the rats will be able to grab an edge of the plastic and chew their way out. Bin cages need at least two sides to be ventilated in order to be safe for rats. You can often buy a big bin for around $20, a roll of hardware cloth for $20, and then all you need is zip ties and the tools like tin snips and pliers. It can definitely be a more cost effective way to house a small number of rats.

Free roam:

Rats should get at least 30 minutes each day outside of their cage. This time can be spent either in a playpen or in a rat-proofed room. I personally recommend this cardboard playpen - it’s super easy to make and is relatively sturdy considering how inexpensive the materials are. I also use foam kids puzzle pieces to cover the floor of the playpen — it makes cleanup easier and prevents any damage to the floor. Just make sure to put duct tape over the edges or the rats will chew them.

[ID: A photo of a cardboard playpen with various rat toys inside it, including cardboard boxes, paper bags, puzzle toys, and a dig box. There is a cage partly visible inside the playpen, and the floor is covered with a multicolored kids play mat. /end ID]

Enrichment:

Rat enrichment is a critical part of owning rats since they are so smart and get bored easily. However, it’s pretty much only limited by your imagination! This google doc is a great resource that has a bunch of easy, cheap, DIY enrichment toys so I won’t repeat myself here. Most rat toys can be made out of recycling, the rats won’t mind. My boys’ favorites are just empty paper bags.
