As previously mentioned, it depends on your bun, wether it likes being picked up or not. For instance my boy bun Phoebe, ive had him since he was a few weeks old, so loves being cuddles and have have snuggles with you on the bed or sofa, on the other hand my girly bun Piper isnt such a big fan of being held and will usally make a displeased grunt at me so i usally limit Piper to being picked up when being taken to and from the run.
Rabbits are hard work, and not as simple as people think. They go downhill very quick, and cost alot of money to treat. Hollis tummy stopped working the other night and it cost me 53 pound to get her sorted at the vets. Plus they require neutering to stop any accidental litters & uterine cancer in females. They also need vaccinating for Viral Hameoraging Disease and Mxyi every 6 month. I payed 53 for phoebes neuter,73 for pipers neuter, plus 30 each for all 4 of my buns to be vacced for VHD and myxi. Plus ive had a few emergency vet bills which have all come in roughly between 50 and 150 pound. Also flea treatments, it costs me about 20 pound for a pack of 5 advantage ones from the vets to treat ALL my buns.
Rabbits also need accomidation which allows them to practice thier rabbity habbits, such as running,thumping,binkying,digging. Alot of people are now using sheds and attaching runs as not many petshops provide a rabbit hutch which is actually big enough. These hutchs are fine if there out permantley during the day, ( i have one in my run, for them to play under and hide in) I payed 135 for the shed, 50 for the run (bit of a bargain) plus 55 for the indoor cage I have (which they live in for now but will keep it for emergencys)
Rabbits need a diet which is mainly hay, and should ideally be pellets, but mine refuse to eat it, so they get the food found mainly in petshops, (the coloured one) I spent about 20 on 2 giant bags of this a month, plus another 30 on hay and straw. They usally get make shift toys but I do have a few shop bought toys, which were a few pound each.
I have a combination of buns -big and large, rescue and pet shop bought and I love them all the same, though I do wish I had of known about rescues first. Fletcher is adopted and he is so friendly. The rescue can tell you what the rabbits personality is like, wat they like/dont like and any health problems. With a pet shop bought you dont have this advantage, as i found out... phoebe suffers with bouts of dioreha which have led to stasis a few times with him, the vet things this is may be because of his breed and because he is senstive to some foods. This generally costs me about 50 pound to put right everytime he ends up with Dioreha.
Rabbits are great pets to have - but are pricey and need time & love.
