Rabbit Budget In hard-pressed economical times it is nice to know a house rabbit is not going to eat you out of hous  e and home. Our Bincy Bunny requires a little lettuce, a small handful of hay, and a minute cupful of pellets twice a day. And since she is well-trained, she is not eating up our funiture or carpets. Maybe your next pet should be a house rabbit (just a love suggestion).David & Linda Mid-South Bunny Museum |
