I had my power company come out to do an energy audit as my last bill was excessive even with the cold. Found out it is costing me $70-$80 a month to run the electric heater for my son’s rabbit cage. 
I think rabbit stew is on the menu.

It’s a rabbit…it doesn’t need heat. As long as it has shelter and some hay for bedding.
A light bulb should be able to make enough heat for a rabbit in the bitter cold.
I have software that I can do energy “assumptions” It is basic info about the home and such but it does not surprise me at all that a little space heater will cost that much. My addition is heated by electric currently and it saves me $200 a month if I burn wood in my fireplace every day. Even ones that claim to cost less are expensive.
$80!? That’s a couple rounds! That needs to be nipped in the bud right now 
I picked up one of these Kill-A-Watt Electricity Monitor things a couple years ago. Easy to use. Just plug it in when I want to know what it is costing to keep something running. Here’s a link from Home Depot.

$120.00-$130.00 per month this winter to keep the Wife’s Koi Pond open and aerated. 
Depending on the size and type, smoked koi might be in order:
