Expert Answer

It's nice to give them a nice crate to go into, but it's a good idea to let them get out of that for a bit. Make sure they have an environment where there's lots of fun things for them to do, but keep them away from things that could end up hurting them, such as wires. Buy high quality rabbit food, timothy hay, and a selection of green veggies.

What if they tell me to wait a few weeks to talk about it?

Community Answer

Give your parents the time to think it over. It's reasonable that your parents want time to consider such a big decision, so let them have that space.

Question

What if you already have a dog, and your parents think you already have enough animals, even though you are explaining that you would buy and take care of it?

Community Answer

Let your parents know a concrete plan to spend time with both animals. Your parents want to make sure you honor your commitment to your dog as well as the rabbit. Also, research how to safely introduce a dog and rabbit so your parents won't worry about safety.

Question

How much money is it all together at the end?

Community Answer

It depends. Make a list of how much rabbits cost in your area, as well as the supplies you'll need. Then, calculate the total cost. If you already have some supplies, this can save you money.
