Can it live outside in it and if so how can I get it off the ground

Answer
Andrea - wire bottomed cages are REALLY BAD FOR RABBITS, they are only used by lazy keepers who keep their rabbits in small housing so the rabbits have no choice but to live in filthy surroundings.

To the original poster, dog crates can be used as bases for INDOOR rabbits, a crate with some puppy pen panels around it to create a run or used in a bunny proofed room are fine for rabbits - but it needs to be an XL crate.

They are NOT suitable for outdoor use though as they are not weather proof. Outdoors a rabbit needs a hutch/run combo (a minimum 6x2x2 hutch with permanent run), or a converted playhouse/shed with run, or an aviary/dog kennel and run. Ideally a minimum of 60 square foot.

Rabbits are not animals that should live in cages, they need space to run and bounce when THEY choose to and not when you choose to let them out!

should i give "my" dog back?

Its T-Bone

About 6 months ago I moved from a house to an apartment and could not keep my dog. A friend of mine said he knew someone that was looking for a dog. We met with the guy, he seemed nice and he sounded like he was going to be able to give her the attention she needs. We GAVE him the dog, purebred husky that my girlfriend and i paid $800 for, and all of her supplies, XXL wire dog crate that cost about 180, an XL outdoor crate/shelter ($140), prescribed flea medicine, tons of leashes, harnesses, collars and toys. Also right before we gave her away she had been freshly vaccinated and he was also given (2) 40 lbs bags of food for her. He was told that we had registered her properly through the city so he would need to take the necessary steps to get everything transferred to his name, address, etc. We gave this guy the full setup. He didn't need to buy a thing. All he had to do was provide proper care. Well about a month ago he calls me saying he's moving and he cant keep the dog. I told him that's fine we're in a position now to take her back if we have too so i told him lets meet up tomorrow and I'll pick her up. I went to the guys house and he wasn't there, called but no answer. It wasn't until about 2 days later when he called and said he gave her to another person. Another month went by and I got a call from the company she's registered with saying that she's been found and that the people that have would like for me to pick her up ASAP. The pet registration folks gave the me info of the people that had her and they say they found her behind a building and she needs immediate vet car as it appeared she had been attacked by another stray. When I get to where she was i can see deep gashes and obvious bite wounds in her rear end and back legs. I take her to the vet and they clean her up, give her stitches and antibiotics.

My question is, am I obligated to track the guy that had her down and say "I have the dog, she was hurt but I took care of her and here she is", which I have tried by the way, none of his contact numbers are connected anymore, or do I just not say anything and keep her? I paid for all of her vet care, the "new" owner failed to properly register obviously because I was contacted when she was found and they also failed to provide proper shelter and fencing for her which led to her escape and encounter with another aggressive dog.

Answer
No. You keep your dog as long as you can provide a home for it. the other guy obviously didn't want to tell you that the dog was lost. I feel bad that you will have to replace all the stuff for the pup, but you don't owe the guy anything at all. Not even an expanation. Best of luck to your reunited family!
