I might get a couple of bunnies. If you have/had them, what tips do you have for me?

They shit a lot...so if you let them roam around the house be prepared to vacuum up a lot of shit.
@badazzbasicbich: ok. that's how it was when i had a guinea pig.

@AliceinWonderland: They pee a lot too, seems like a water hose flowing
@cherokeepatti: how do you clean it up? did you have them as a pet?

@AliceinWonderland: I had them in hutches outdoors in a rural area, used a shovel and fertilized the garden with the manure.

A young man told me that they can be house-broken but I had a hard time believing him because I was talking to him at his garage sale and there was a distinct odor of rabbit urine on some of the stuff he was selling, not to mention shed rabbit fur on most items (I didn't buy anything it was that bad).
@cherokeepatti: oh dear :( that doesn't sound good.

@AliceinWonderland: Seemed like they shed more than cat would.

@cherokeepatti: @AliceinWonderland: When we had rabbits they did pee in a litter box.
@badazzbasicbich: how did you teach them?
SW-User
@AliceinWonderland: In the cage there was a corner litter box they just went to the corner and peed. 🤷🏿
@badazzbasicbich: so if you let them out, you could also set out their litter box?

@AliceinWonderland: maybe. I never tried that, we left the cage door open and they would go back into the cage. but they did have accidents...
@badazzbasicbich: oh i see. so if they need to go poo/pee they would go back into their cage? and you didn't have to teach them that?
SW-User
@AliceinWonderland: they will poop everywhere regardless they're like poop dispensers, but for peeing If I can recall, they did go back in the cage...but I
haven't had rabbits in years...🤷🏿
@badazzbasicbich: ok. yeah guinea pigs are like that too. did you let them go on your bed?
