can you keep a mini lop rabbit in a 20 by 30 plastic dog kennel?

as ive said before i would like to have a minilop rabbit (i dont have one yet). would there be enough space in a 20 by 30 dog kennel for a mini lop rabbit? also how much does it cost to own a mini lop rabbit or a year (Canadian $) the cage has ventalation windows and im pretty sure it could fit one mini lop rabbit. i would take the rabbit out of the cage atleast once a day to rome around my back yard . i have two dgs (border collies) and the cage used to be a bed for one of them so its pretty big

20 by 30 in what units? inches? feet? centimeters? That info would help. Rabbits are okay outside but it is much better to keep them indoors. During the warmer months, especially spring and fall, it is fine to let them roam around outside in a supervised, enclosed location. In the very hot summer months and the winter they should be kept indoors as they easily overheat in the summer and can die of heatstroke.So to get to your questions, if the kennel is in inches, then it will be okay for the rabbit to sleep in, but it will need to have time outside of it's cage, a few hours a day. This should be in a supervised area where all wires are covered or taken away so the rabbit doesn't chew them. Also you want to make sure he won't chew furniture and rugs that you don't want ruined, which is why you should supervise him. Make sure the dogs are not going to go for the rabbit, and that he isn't too scared of them. I have rabbits and a large dog and they get along alright as long as we keep him away when he gets too playful - he doesn't know how easy he could hurt them. In terms of cost, for one rabbit, here are the supplies you will need for starters:cage (which you have)food: Hay - $6/bag probably 1-2 bags per month, Vegetables - assorted leafy greens, broccoli, carrots, etc., Pellets (5lb bag about $8)treats - stick with dried cranberries! they love themwater/food dishes: about $20Litter box - $10-15Litter - use a non-clumping litter, like Yesterday's News (available in Canada) $8 for 13lb bagBrush, nail clippers, toys $20-30So you are looking at about $70-90 just for supplies to start up. After that, you will need to continue purchasing litter, food, and treats.I would budget $40/month on food and litter and that should be plenty for one rabbit.If you get a baby, you are going to have to make sure you feed him according to his age. Information on what you should feed at different stages can be found here:http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/diet.htmlPlease remember that it is easy to litter train bunns. They make very good pets but they are NOT low maintenance and require a lot of social interaction to stay happy and healthy. They can live between 8-12 years. Vet costs should also be considered - the biggest fee will be the cost of spaying/neutering. If you are in the GTA or surrounding area you can email me at [email protected] and I can suggest some good vets for bunnies. They do not require yearly shots, but should get yearly checkups and you need to familiarize yourself with the signs of illness, since they can get sick very quickly and it can be costly if not caught and taken care of fast.http://www.rabbit.org has lots of info all about rabbits.
