Can I keep a bunny in my closet?

[Cascade_Quail_Eggs]

My bunny lives indoors and I love it it’s a great way to bond with them and get to know them even more compared to them living outside. My bunny has half of my room for his pen until I fix up my room for him to be freely roaming the house. And yes rabbits can be litter box trained.

I wouldn't keep it anywhere you don't want rabbit pee.
What's your goal for keeping a rabbit?

I would keep a rabbit for pet purposes.

I don’t think it’s cruel to keep rabbits outside I currently have a majority of my rabbits outside besides my new momma and her baby. I’ve sold a bunny to a girl who has actually trained her rabbit to use a litter pan and she had to silicon rubber around her cords and her bunny can’t chew through them. I think like with every animal it’ll take a little while to train but it’s not like it can’t be done. I’d definitely recommend if you do get a rabbit to live in your closet don’t get a male. They spray and it’s nasty to clean.

I am wondering why on earth do you think keeping a rabbit outside is cruel? I am also wondering if you would be better off with a pet other than a rabbit. I can see all sorts of problems with what you propose, but then it is your house and, if you get one, your rabbit.

I don’t think keeping a rabbit outside is cruel! I never agreed with that statement in the first place. Obviously, I know very little about rabbits. When I wanted to learn more, I discovered many helpful YouTube channels and blogs where the people running it declare that bunnies are meant to be inside. They say that it is cruel to allow such a vulnerable animal outside. I believed that statement because so many people seemed to agree with it. However, I am now seeing how that is inaccurate and my view is constantly shifting.

Also, that is why I am on here, requesting a (kind) assessment on my idea. Nothing has been set in stone.

Thank you!

My bunny is a male and if you don’t intend to breed or anything like that you can get them fixed. Getting them fixed will stop spraying and unwanted breeding if you ever want a friend for that rabbit.
