I wanted to get a holland lop rabbit but was adviced against doing so by a pet shop owner because their urine smells too bad to keep them in-house and they are too timid. Was adviced to get a chinchilla instead.
That sounds kind of suspicious, I've heard their urine smells bad but not that much if their cage is cleaned regularly.
So I have few questions:
1. urine smell
-really that bad?
-how often to clean cage?
-any anti-odor sprays maybe?
2. what should cage floor be made of to not hurt their feet and soak the urine?
3. Do I need to cut its fingernails? I mean do they keep growing and break and make them bleed or is it done to prevent them from scratching people.
4. How likely are they to bite or scratch a stranger?
Thanks.
