Extra sweeper bags.

I'm gonna guess because of the cedar shavings.

More vet visits? I don't think it's food. Habitats/cages?


FYI: Please don't use cedar shavings with your small pets (rabbits, rats, etc.), the oils can make pets very sick.

Hmm. Well. Rabbits need hay to eat; I'm always rather offended by the prices on hay for rabbits in pet stores. Having horses, I know what a 70 pound bale of that stuff would cost, and the one pound bags for bunnies are outrageous. I think with hamsters and gerbils you can get away with just feeding them a grain mix out of a box (Never had one, don't know firsthand). They're really expensive if you do have to take them to a vet. They're fragile and get sick a fair bit. People are more likely to take them to a vet than a smaller pet.

It's been much too long since I had a rabbit, and even then they lived outside in hutches, so I'm getting foggy on what else might be normal bunny expenses. Litterbox litter? Toys to chew?

Of course, since I've had mostly senior dogs for a few years, I'm a little foggy on what's normal expenses for any pet anymore :) Senior dogs take a loooot of maintenance...

Rabbits need hay to eat;

We had a pet rabbit but didn't feed him hay. He ate rabbit pellets from the seed & feed. The cedar shavings didn't seem to bother him (what killed him was eating the plaster off the walls). What we did feed him that he loved were carrot and celery tops, which we could get at the grocery for free.

Yeah...

Rabbits can stay alive with just pelleted feed, much like people can stay alive if they only eat hamburgers. But rabbits really should be provided with lots of hay.

I can tell you that the dollar amount for bird ownership is very general. A bird can be anything from a canary to an Amazon parrot. I own a Quaker parrot and it costs more than $200 a year.

Rabbits need a lot of fresh greens, which do add up (sometimes you can't get them free like Miko did). I'd say that is my biggest expense.
Buying kale, hay, pellets, and litter adds up.
The vet costs aren't high unless there is something wrong, but then they are very high.
My bunny definitely costs more than my bfs two cats put together just because of the food thing.
Also he is picky and demands to eat organic.
