Question
one of my freinds said that they can ,but my other freind Jordan said that they can't. which is true?

Answer
Hi Sawyer,

no you should not use a hamster ball with a rabbit.  One of the reasons they are called 'hamster balls', not 'rabbit balls'.

You may want to take a little more time to read up on rabbits and their needs.  They are not a good first pet or handle lots of noises and fast movements around them like a dog or cat will tolerate.  They also do not do well being around young children who can make a lot of noise and possibly accidentally injure them because they don't know how strong they are/how delicate rabbits are.  

Take some time and go to the House Rabbit Society web site (www.rabbit.org) and read up on them.  They have hundreds of articles on all aspects of rabbits, and they can help you determine if you/your house is a good house for a rabbit to live in.
