Is it easier to take care of a bunny or hamster will they bite for no reason??
Answers:
Rabbits are much bigger so you have to clean a bigger cage, while hamsters cages a pretty small. Also you have to take your bunny out more to play because, unlike hamsters they don't have wheels and tubes connected to their cages. My rabbit has never biten me, but one of my hamster have once.
Some, not all, rabbitts are biters. My kids never were bitten by their hamster.
We have hamster and they are pretty low maintenance. At first the hamster bit, but hasn't lately. They need to get used to their environment for several days. before you handle them. Hope that helps.
hamsters are a lot easier to care for. rabbits require lots of work. most animals will be scared when brought home so give them a day or so to relax and they shouldnt really bite. if they are biters, every time they bite tap them on the nose, and say NO! and they learn quickly! good luck
As far as messes and such it is easier to take care of a hamster. Although hamsters are more prone to biting for no reason. Well, there is a reason, they are so small that is their only defense. What you have to watch for with a rabbit is scratching when they get scared or just want to play. But in either case you can lessen the chances of getting bitten or scratched by working with them. Handle them alot and play, you might have to take a few bites from your hamster first but if you play with it alot that should subside.
Hamsters will bite if they are scared but they are sooooooooo sweet~!!
a hamster, they are small and they dont bite
Have you considered a rat? They aren't thought of to be biters, they're very social and love to hang out with people. They are easy to care for, as easy as a hamster, and much more intelligent than a hamster.
