I am thinking about getting a rabbit for my dorm what products should I use to keep the smell down?

www.woodypet.com is an excellent bedding. Meant for horses, so you know it controls odor great!

The biggest part to keeping the smell down, is to clean the litterpan and cage often enough. As a breeder, I've found that I much prefer paper-based bedding and litter (such as CareFresh) over anything else. It simply absorbs the smells better than anything else out there, and it's the safest thing to use. You're going to want to clean the cage at least once a week, but you can change the litterpan daily if you want which will cut it way down. There are also many different products out there that you can use (check the rabbit/ferret/chinchilla/hamster/guinea pig/rat/mouse section of the pet store) that are cage deoderizers and cage cleaners. Anything marketed for small animals is safe to use for bunnies...just make sure you follow the directions on the bottle as to whether you need to rinse the cage after using it, and anything that has citrus scents will work wonderfully...it can make the bunnies more apt to dig into their cages though (there's just something about a citrus smell that bunnies can't seem to resist!). Hope it helps! Any other questions? You can e-mail me directly at: kbviolin_98@yahoo.com

at an identical time as you could cut back smell, you would be caught. If no longer the smell on an afternoon you forget approximately to scrub the cage, then somebody will see you pushing aside bedding, hear him thumping or damn cage bars, or a chum who develops a grudge will document you. All it takes is for one individual to get disillusioned with you and make a telephone call or deliver an e mail. I took in various rabbits quickly at an identical time as i replaced into in college after their vendors have been found out and the rabbits kicked out of the dorms. you will no longer get away with hiding him. consisting of your mattress, table, and different stuff interior the room, i will't see a thank you to probably have sufficient room to permit the rabbit sufficient exercising, the two. Plus rabbits tend to be unfavourable, and it rather is probably your carpet or baseboards will finally end up nibbled, and you charged great fees for maintenance. Please locate him yet another abode which could furnish him with appropriate care and is permitted to have him of their place of living.

You should get two rabbits. They are sociable animals, and keeping them in solitary confinement is cruel. When you look into a field, you see many rabbits together, very rarely one on it's own.

Rabbits get very distressed on their own, and this can cause them to become bored and agressive, e.g. biting and scratching.

Using a deodorising spray, that is safe for animals should do the trick. The bigger the hutch, the better, as there won't be such a huge build up of urine on one area.

Before you do that, are you sure you can have a rabbit in your dorm room? Most dorms restrict pets to things like fish.

And don't think that you can "sneak" it in there, because you will likely be found out, and the one that suffers is then the animal because it has to find a new home.

Well you have to clean the litter tray pretty much every day or at least every other day. Natural products can only be reccommended for rabbits as they have very delicate tummys so normal cat litter can harm them and make them very ill. Try a wood pulp. The one i use has a natural pine scent so keeps smells at bay for a while.

scoop the cage often, like a couple of times a day, and you can buy litters that will cut down on the smell. Also consider a guinea pig - they are easier to handle than rabbits, who generally don't like to be held. I know there are exceptions, but most bunnies aren't big snugglers. Guinea pigs thrive on fresh veggies, and this keeps their smell down, they love interaction with their people.

Make sure you DO NOT use cedar shavings, very harmful to rabbits... use pine when it is caged. Pine is a natural disinfectant and odor neutralizer. ARBA.com may have more answers for you in the forum section

Are you even allowed to have a pet in a dorm? Most, if not all colleges, don't allow pets. If you go to http://www.rabbitcentral.com/ they have a link for all kinds of odor control. The best I've heard is nature's miracle.

the best way to eliminate odor is to take the rabbit to the taxidermist and have his little bunny body stuffed
