Question
Hi Elizabeth,
I have a black lab and three cats, and was wondering if I got a rabbit would they kill it. Would the rabbit have to always be in its cage? All of our animals are spayed and neutered and the dog gets along fine with the cats.

Answer
Hi,
you can definately try a rabbit with your other crew...always be sure to never leave the rabbit unattended with any other animals,when you leave,put the rabbit in it's cage.  It's much safer to have it in a cage then injured or shocked by an electric wire while it's not being watched.  Good luck,Elizabeth
