Rabbit? (:?
I want to adopt a rabbit but I live in an apartment. so would it be an ok environment for a rabbit?
It is not so much where you live now, as how long you are able to commit. A baby rabbit needs to be altered (can range from 75$-400.00 in the USA) and when it is sick (and it will get sick) it will need a good exotic vet, or you will be heartbroken. Rabbits that are well cared for and have good owners and vets live longer now, between 8-18 years; You may find yourself in many homes by then. If you are only interested in a rabbit for a couple of years, or one that cannot do everything that the others do (as far as getting into trouble!) consider please adopting a special needs, (will need a pretty good vet, and some spare $ to help with that) Or an older rabbit, or even fostering some for a rabbit rescue. before you go any farther, these sites have some very good info for you to understand how they are unlike dogs and cats.

If the rabbit is playful whenthey are just a baby, are theygonna change their behaviourwhen they grow?
I have 2 rabbits, the 4 weeks old rabbit is playful (always running around the house and eats a lot) while the 7 weeks old rabbit seems quiet lazy (he just want to be cuddle and hide inside the box). Im wondering if the younger rabbit will change his behaviour too once he gets older.
Well, hun, four weeks is very young to be away from the mother. I'm not sure if this rabbit came from a litter of yours or not, but the rabbit kit should have freely nursed until 6-8 weeks of age. Also, please be cautious about what you are feeding these rabbits because at this young of age, their digestive system and immune system is not fully mature. As far as the behavior change, it will happen. Most rabbits reach sexual maturity around 3-4 months of age and that is when their behavior can turn. The females (does) can become cage aggressive and may lunge at you, bite or scratch you when you enter the cage. The males (bucks) will spray urine and fight with other males as a result of territorial behavior. And please, keep in mind that rabbits can become pregnant and impregnate at the age of 3-4 months, so you want to keep the bucks and does seperate. Good luck with your new rabbits.
What are the chances of arabbit surviving a broken legwithout surgery?
I knew my rabbit's leg was not right because it was sticking out. I took him to the vet and found out that he had a broken leg. The only thing the doctor offered was leg surgery to fix it (which would cost $700+), or putting the rabbit down. I would not have my rabbit put down and definitely could not afford to have the surgery. I need to know if the rabbit could survive without surgery. I'd like to know what kind of pain medicine a rabbit could be given to ease its struggle to be better again.
The first answered mine too. I think he/she is a phony. Anyways I don't know much about bunnies. I just recently got two and one is sick. Anyways, I wouldn't put the rabbit down. It can survive with a broken leg. Maybe in pain. You could maybe ask the vet how much it would cost for pain meds for the rabbit. And yes it can survive. If we get a broken leg they splint it and we don't die. See if they can do that instead of surgery. Best of luck. Don't put him down!
