I have 3 rabbits and am looking to move out of my parents house now that I’m freshly out of college. I understand that most people say their rabbits live in cages (which mine don’t) to make it easier getting an apartment.

However should I lie about the amount of rabbits I have.

I’ve literally have never lived anywhere besides my parents and have no clue how it works.

Any advice is welcomed!

Most landlords don’t care about fish, reptiles, or rabbits.
Usually just cats and dogs.

I think most apartments only care about dogs/cats . At least mine does , In my lease it basically stated aquariums and cages were permitted but dogs and cats required pet deposit.

I'm having a hard time finding places that take pets, I think sometimes lying works. Like I used to have like 16 at my old apartment and now I only have 2 and I definitely had to tell some fake tales.

I have an apartment with 1 bunny, and the apartment complex only cares about dogs and cats.

I wouldn’t say anything. Unless you take them outside there’s no reason for anyone to know.

I don’t live in an apartment but if I did I’d make sure they knew I had at least one bunny in case they try to spray for insects, that would be my only concern. I wouldn’t give extra information such as they free roam or anything, but I’d make sure they didn’t chew up the place.

Sierra, you should have an Xpen for the rabbit to stay in when not supervised like when not at home or at night. My daughter did the same as you after college, and refused to put the rabbits in an xpen because they were free roam. Her bill at move-out was $6,000 for repairs to carpet and baseboards.

The first thing you need to do is make sure bunnies are allowed in your new apt. I wouldn't lie.... it just can make things worse if there is a problem. Try to have an x-pen to keep them in when you aren't home.

Make sure it's one they can't jump over and has a top on it. Tell your manager that they will be in the x-pen when you are away. Bunnies to like to chew up carpet and wires, so don't take any chances.

Offer them an old rug when they are in the x-pen. Better yet, if you can, put the x-pen on a tile floor if one is available. Do anything and everything to make sure they are safe when you are away.

Lots of toys, chew things that are appropriate for bunnies. Oxbow brand is a very good bran for treats and hay.

Good luck.

I live in a studio apartment. This is my buns enclosure. The bed above is my kiddos bed. She is here most of the time and gets a few hours of free roaming time.
