I am going to be acquiring a 3-legged rabbit. Now, I haven't had rabbits since I was a kid, but I know enough to read up on their care and requirements. I work for an animal rescue group, and some woman has approached me with a 3 legged rabbit (his leg was broken as a baby, and they had it amputated) which her kids have lost interest in and they no longer have the time/space to care for...
Well, when you're in animal rescue, it seems no one has time/space for anything, sadly...
Anyway, I am keeping him until I can find him a more worthy home. I didn't want him to go to the local kill shelter. This guy cannot be on a wire-bottomed floor because it irritates his stump. The cage they are surrendering him in is barely larger than a carrier. I need some suggestions for a good home-made (cheap!) cage I can build for him that has a flat surface for a bottom? I am going to be building him an outdoor enclosure out of PVC pipe and chicken wire, so he can spend a little time enjoying the great outdoors once in a while.
Also, are rabbits like cats in the sense they are easy/inclined to be litter box trained???
