Thanks for reaching out. Sound like you have a full house. 1. Birds will often bond together but continue to work with them in a quiet environ, offering treats to win and re-enforce trust. Toys, the radio or tv, can all assist with boredom. Setting up foraging toys so birds need to spend time looking for food. 2. There is no such thing as too big a cage. 3. Heating rocks are rarely approved for use, as they will eventually become faulty and get too hot, potentially damaging the animal. A heat lamp is recommended. 4. The bunny's litter box should be spot cleaned daily and full clean weekly. If you can smell it you waited too long. Good luck.

Yes, most pet stores have a small animal section with a variety of toys. Look for chew toys with safe woods such as willow, apple, birch, spruce and aspen. Soft toys and exercise wheels are also good options.

Have you considered a guinea pig? Guinea pigs are relatively affordable pets and are considered a good companions and social. But, bear in mind that guinea pigs do best when paired with another guinea pig of the same sex, which can increase your costs. The guinea pigs need a large cage to live in, which usually cost less than $50. Bedding, food and toys can get pricey, but you can save by purchasing fresh veggies on sale.

Then I would just pay for vaccinations and yearly visits out of pocket. Thank you for using PetCoach.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I really like the angora and mini lop breeds as they are beautiful and fun to keep. Try to get to see the rabbit you are choosing for a bit so that you can make sure that he is social and interactive. Also, make sure that the rabbit is eating well and has been evaluated by a veterinarian to ensure that he is doing well. Good luck!
