Can you sleep with a house bunny or will it get it trouble?

I have read that house bunnies can be trained but that they will chew on everything including fabrics. Can you sleep with a house bunny in a closed, rabbit-proofed room? Or is it best left in it's cage at night?Can you sleep with a house bunny or will it get it trouble?
Rabbits love to be with their owners. Really a cage should be nothing more than a place for the rabbit to go in and feel secure with a place to sleep and food waiting for it. It won't hurt your rabbit to stay in its cage for the night, but many people allow them to roam free at all hours of the night. Many people with free-range house rabbits usually only have one concern when it comes to rabbits being out while they're asleep. They're quite small animals, and do enjoy being with you, some even under the covers, and if you move around a lot in your sleep it is possible to kick or roll on them.





As long as everything is out of reach of their paws or mouths and you're sure nothing can happen to them, it's fine to leave them out at all times.Can you sleep with a house bunny or will it get it trouble?
If the room is 100% bunny proofed, your rabbit can be out all the time. Many people have free-roaming rabbits if they have taken the time to thoroughly bunny proof. Make sure you pick up items from the floor and that you have been very thorough at removing all hazards (including putting plastic guards in outlets, etc). Get down on your belly and see from their point of view. Make sure everything below waist height is safely secured.
Rabbits are nocturnal meaning they are more active at night. It is best not to sleep with them as your or the bunny could get hurt. Some bunnies chew anything they can. It is best to let them chew empty cardboard boxes or chew toys. Our bunnies chew up on willow tunnels and tents and cardboard boxes.
Yes you can sleep with it. i had 3 and none of them were trained so they basically ate everything in my house. they ate and scratched all my doors and furniture. but yes it's fine as long as your bunny is trained.
Rabbits are best left in their cages.
