Smile I know im a pain but.....=]

Two questions


1) Is a indoor rabbit cage really suitable for long or short term?


2) what is the best soil/substrate to use?
i recently switched from woodchip to soil and just wondering if it was the right choice?


Apologies for messy typing just painted my nails :S Haha =]

1) Most indoor rabbit cages are ok for young torts. As they get older and bigger there won't be enogh space

2) Soil is the perfered substrate of many

If you get the bigger rabbit cages it should last for a few years

How big is she?

Age is almost irrelevant, size is the key factor
