kay well i just joined. i actually don't have a bunny :( but i've wanted one for almost 2 years, my mom says i can have one, assuming i take full responability etc and it lives in a hutch outside. well i was willing to do so. but i don't want to live outside. i really want it to stay inside. in my bedroom. i was searching things on the internet

Well, why does she want the rabbit to be outside? Because of smell? Spayed/neutered rabbits that are kept in clean conditions have no odor whatsoever. Noise? Rabbits don't bark, whine, or meow. Mess? Rabbits can easily be littertrained and are very neat animals, the exception being that hay does tend to scatter

thanks :)
i think it's because of the smell, we have two cats -one who would be terrified to go near it- but she want's an excuse to put my other cat up for adoption... so i could give her that excuse

Getting a bunny would give her an excuse to get rid of your cat? Wow, that really sucks. :( I would say grit your teeth, love your kitties, and get a bunny when you're out of the house and on your own and don't have to worry about that kind of thing.

Best luck!

well i love my kitty, but he isn't a great cat to have, with other pets.. like he likes to 'beat up' my other cat, who my mom likes more cuz we had him first. and he needs more 'i'm the only cat here' kind of attention, which is why she wants to get rid of him but i am the only one in my house who is remotely attached, though i can fully understand why she feels the way she does.

www.rabbit.org has a lot of great info on this kind of stuff.

bunnies can live up to 10 years, though, so if you might not be able to take the bunny with you when you move out, and you don't think you can trust your mom with sole responsibility for the bunny (and it sounds like you probably can't), it might be a bad idea to get a young one now.
