Is a ten gallon tank too small for a dwarf bunny?

That is too small by far. Rabbits should not be in a tank, either, they need air circulation or they'll get sick.

They should have a wire cage so that air circulates. A good cage size would be at least 24" x 24" minimum, but the bigger the better. A 4' x 2' cage is a very good size. It should also be at least 14" high so he can look around and things like that.

A rabbit is VERY inexpensive. It probably cost a dollar or less per a week to have a rabbit. If you get a big food bag from tractor supply (food lasts 2 months) and a bale of grass hay (timothy, orchard, NOT ALFALFA and this will also last 2 months or until there is black spots, fungus, or white dust, mold, on the hay) it would only cost you about $20 for both of those things. You need water too, so make sure the water from your faucet is safe. You also need bedding (cost $5-10 and lasts a while)

Good luck!

Putting a rabbit in a 10 gallon tank would be downright cruelty. Firstly, it's far too small, and the rabbit would just jump out and there would not be adequate ventilation. A 10 gallon tank isn't even suitable for a hamster.

Rabbits should NOT live in cages, regardless of what anyone tells you. Pet shops will sell a variety of 'cages' however these are totally unsuitable - never trust pet shops when it comes to animal welfare. Rabbits need a lot of room, even if they are dwarf breeds, so the ideal thing to do would be to bunny proof a room of your house and let them live free range in that room. Rabbits that are confined to cages lead bored and depressing lives and often becoming destructive, and they can develop health problems such as muscle wastage and arthritis.

you can't even keep one betta in a 1 gal. tank you would need at least five gallons for one and if they are all males they will kill each other unless you got on of the friendly varieties of betta's. in a much larger tank you can keep a single male and as many females as you want if they can fit in the tank. And as for pleco's there are many varieties but when full grown almost all species grow to be at least 1 ft. long that size fish could not even be forced into a tank of that size. But it sounds like you really don't know enough about fish to be keeping them. You are clearly irresponsible because you didn't even do some basic research before running off to the fish store and buying ten betta fish a one gallon tank is not really suitable for keeping fish. And you my friend just wasted a bunch of money and if the fish are not already dead the right thing to do would be to return them to the fish store if they would take them or find someone who could take care of them.

A 10 gallon tank is totally unsuitable for a rabbit. 10 gallons is small for a hamster, and is tiny for a rabbit of any size. Aquariums don't have much ventilation. The glass bottom is too slippery for a rabbit and even with bedding can cause problems such as splay leg.

Most pet store cages are too small for a rabbit. If you can find one that is 2X4ft, that is good. It is better to use an x-pen, XL size (or bigger) wire dog crate or build a cage using NIC grids. These are all bigger than a pet store cage and end up costing less for the space you get. You can find these used as well, so that helps with the cost.

Costs can vary depending on what you buy. A 5 pound bag of high quality food will cost about $8-15 and should last about a month for a small rabbit. Hay depends on how much your rabbit will eat, but probably about $10-20 per month depending on where you buy it. A 40 pound bag of wood pellets for litter costs about $5 and should last a long time with 1 rabbit. Veggies will be a couple dollars a week.

Please do a lot of research before getting a rabbit. They are a fair amount of work and can live to be 10 years or older. They can get expensive, especially with vet care.

Yes, that's waaay too small for a dwarf bunny. Rabbits need at least 2 hours of exercise each day. I suggest a much larger cage for your bunny.

Heck, yes. Are you kidding? Would you like to spend the rest of your life in a shower stall?

Get a much, much bigger cage.

Hello my name is Qwerty, I am a Rabbit Care And Behavioral Specialist. I will answer your questions. I own a Holland Lop myself.

it cost like 15 a week for a rabbit... watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AklDhU21QnM

First off, any rabbits are not cage animals. You see, they need at least 2 hours or 1 hour of excersize a day! Including their excersize in their home (which would be a cage if you bought one). The small cages that are sold online and at pet stores are terrible! The stuff they include in the cage is not even that good for them except the carefresh bedding. I am not saying they need to be free roaming animals. But instead, a new habbitat. Revolutionary in fact, it was deisgned by me and my family for our rabbits. (I am not selling anything) click on the links for the pictures...

What it is a dog pen, we got it at a garage sale for 20 bucks...

It has everything the rabbit needs including space and stuff...

The gray flooring is a WATERPROOF layer of flooring. So if they have accidents or water spills nothing hits the floor. Under that is some plywood and we glued them to the gray floors (call shower liner) they we got a base around the pen which is just some wood. This is great, it costed just only 50 dollars to make where the small cages you want to buy is more than that and will give the rabbit a sad life. And we make sure to let them out everyday!

NOTE: Back in the day, when I guess I was a inexperienced rabbit carer. I had the purple cage for my rabbit. I feel so bad for that thing. It was SO depressed! So I gave it the better habbitat but It is not the one I showed in the pictures. The green one is very small too. If you can't make that cage, I recommend this...

BUT, what I would do is put in inside a doggie playpen... so it is given a good space and the cage is the resting area. But NO way it can live in the cage alone. And you must give it a hour out of it's cage a day, and if you want your bunny litter trained it must be nuetered...

Remember research rabbit care and get your rabbit nuetered!
