I don't know but I would like to tell you this in case you don't know or have never owned a bunny. they are alot of work, so before you go running out and getting one please ask people what all is involved in raising a rabbit. Get the facts first and then get one. Too many unwanted pets (of all types) are purchased in this kind of way, please be responsible and educate yourself first.

well, it all depends. first off, i would recommend that you get a rabbit from a shelter. the benefits of this is that they are not much more money than you would pay at a pet store, are usually already neutered/spayed (you'd be getting a much more pleasant rabbit), they're healthy as they are vet-checked, normally. a rabbit in a pet store has probably been through the horrid conditions of rabbit mills. these are dirty, diseased, cramped places where rabbits are forced to multiply and are tossed in a heap of carcasses when are too sickly or they think they can no longer get a profit from it.
it would be better to get a rabbit from a better place and not support this business.
approximate costs where i come from:
rabbit from rescue centre: 60-70
rabbit from pet store:40-50
suitable cage ( you want a large one ): 75
(if you'd like to build one from NIC cubes, it will be larger, cheaper and you can customize it)
food: it depends on how much you buy, but i pay about 10 per bunny a month. don't buy the food with added sweets, it's more expensive and bad for their health.
water bottle: 5-8
ceramic food dish: 6
hay: 10 a month
corner litter box: 10
litter: 5
PINE shavings or if your bunny is reliably litter trained; a fleece blanket: 10 or 5
safe toys: probably about 10 to start out
good luck.

ok if your going to get a rabbit, things you'll need is: (petco, petsmart, we love pets)
1. rabbit- $20
2. cage (depends how big u want, bigger better)= $70-$150 even $200
3. food= $5-$15
4. timothy hay= $7-$10
5. Pine bedding (thats the best kind, others can give breathing problems so be careful)= $10-$15
6. little ball toys (rabbit safe, SMALL)=$5
7. a rabbit hutch(woodens the best)= $20
8. GRAVITY water bottle (not a bowl, they can get bathroom stuff in their then its bad for the rest of the day plus it spills very easily)=$7
thats the must needs but remember not to give your rabbit any fruits and vegies untill they are adults, (8 months) they can die very easily if not fed fruits and vegies that are not safe for them, so make sure u do your reasearch!!
Have fun and good luck, remember that personality in a rabbit is better then looks
rabbits are alot of fun too

$20-$40, but please consider adopting from a shelter or rescue group. Many rabbits are euthanized for lack of homes. Check out petfinder.com. My local shelter that puts animals to sleep if not adopted charges $20 to adopt a rabbit. Rescue groups that have them already spayed or neutered for you charge mosre like $75, but still a bargain compared to the cost of the spay /neuter ($65-$100).
Source(s): I adopted all 3 of my rabbits from shelters. They are great pets! My current rabbit jumps up into my lap and is totally litter-box trained. - Anonymous1 decade ago
Shouldn't be more than £30 but some people are willing to give them away for free if they think they can trust you to look after it.
