Bunnies are cute and make great house pets. We've had house rabbits for 7 years. However, they are not the easiest pets to have and have many unique requirements. A lot of pet stores sell baby bunnies around Easter. Sadly, people buy them on a whim and end up surrendering them to shelters when the novelty has worn off or worse, releasing them into the wild thinking they can fend for themselves. That would be like abandoning a chihuahua because its ancestor was a wolf.
Don't get a bunny on a whim and consider adopting from a shelter or a rabbit rescue group rather than a pet store. Check it out first and be prepared to be a responsible pet owner and make the committment to take care of it for its lifetime.
And now for our non-Easter bunnies:
Big Bun is the bunny in my avatar. He came to us from a local SPCA. He is very snuggly and will let you pet him forever. Big Bun can be on the lazy side. His main activities are eating and napping.
Lizzy does not approve of me disturbing her nap. We adopted her from a local rabbit rescue group. She was bonded with Toby, one of our deceased bunnies. They were husbun and wife for three years. Lizzy has a more aloof personality. She is very smart and loves to run around and explore.

ReplyDeleteI really like rabbits. They're completely their own kind of animal and totally different from dogs, cats ,or anything else. They can be aloof or very affectionate with very individual personalities. Thanks for commenting.
