They're not hard to take care of, but once again, it comes down to education and making sure that they have room to roam, the appropriate foods, the appropriate toys, litter boxes, and things like that. They can be very straightforward.

I think they do. As long as you're well-educated about their needs and their wants, they can definitely make great pets. Just make sure that you educate small children and that all goes well. I think they can make great pets. They're a lot more affectionate than I ever thought they could be.

Technically, they probably can. A long time ago, that was kind of the way that it was, but we are definitely a big proponent of house rabbits and keeping them indoors, especially in Wisconsin with all the seasons and the extreme cold, heat, humidity, and all of that, which can wreak havoc on their bodies. So keeping them in an as consistent as possible area indoors is definitely recommended.

The rabbit should be able to spin around and stand up, things like that. It's definitely very important that they have an area outside the cage where they can roam. A big exercise pen or a rabbit-proof room that they can roam around in is perfect. Make it as big as it can be, as long as it's rabbit-proofed, so no cords and no carpeting. Carpets can be a little tricky for some of them.

Any dog going outside can be exposed to fleas and ticks, but dogs that go hiking a lot or often go to the park can be exposed to fleas and ticks.

Yes, that's a question I get very commonly. While some fleas and ticks can go dormant in the winter, they must be exposed to certain conditions, and they often do not go completely dormant. So there are still active fleas and ticks even in the winter.
