Rabbits can be trained to live in a house. We had a Dutch rabbit when we were kids in the house for years. It would run and pounce on a ball but we never could get it to fetch. It had a litter box with larger hole hardware clothe over it and always used it. Very rarely did we find any little round 'presents' anywhere. I don't know if it would work for male rabbits, I think they like to leave their 'scent'. Usually does will not go to the bathroom in their hutch, males don't seem to care where they go.
 
Quote: The deal is last time I tried brooding up 40 guinea Keets in my moms garage. One purple tote became too small after one week.... Two purple totes became too small after two weeks.... By three weeks they can FLY....

I made a cube out of pVC and took away the heat lamp... Ambient temperature was 90 degrees any way... they only needed it at night at first. But the cube was four feet cubed.... I had shavings in every nook and cranny and bird dust in even smaller nooks and crannys throughout that garage.... The little reprobates were going through a fifty pound bag of turkey starter A WEEK flinging it out of the brooder..... Oh and did I mention Turkey starter was in all the same nooks and crannys....

No next time There will be no bedding and all feed and water will be over wire... The place where they will lay to cuddle will have either sand or rice hulls.

The wire will have a sling under it made of used feed sacks so when poop lands it will dry and the sack can be replaced by fastening another on one end pulling it through and rolled up.

The feed will be dispensed in external hopper where their heads go through the wire for access.... NO foood flinging or marching on my next watch.... Same goes for the water... I dont do nipple waterers therefore the water will be on the outside of the brooder box accessed through wire....

If I were going to do this inside I would have dander collectors in the form of exhaust fans and directed ventilation... fresh air in a positive flow directed out through filter material.... Or just outside maybe through a dryer vent.

I dont need or want to handle the keets I would rather they not be tame.... Same would go for Meaties....

I read on someone's website that says they don't put fragile on their shipped eggs, they think the mail is more likely to throw them around. I don't know which is safer, shipped eggs scare me. But I guess jem had good luck.

Jems eggs were my very first shipping eggs. It didnt go well imho. Since then , I havnt had a crack or weired aircell from 8 dozen (+extras) sent all over. I have the packaging/shipping down to an art.
Most people ask for them to be labled "fragile. Hold for pick up phone # ;;;-$$$-&&&&.
1 person wanted it labled "Live Embryos"....That dude at the post office looked at me CRAZY CRAZY.
