Every year the animal shelter is filled with bunny rabbits just a few weeks after Easter. Unfortunately, hundreds of these sweet bunny rabbits are left without homes because many good intentioned parents brought their toddler a bunny rabbit for Easter. After the excitement of playing with the bunny rabbit, the toddler losses interest and the little bunny rabbits ends up neglected or abandoned. They are then sent off to the animal shelters.
These Are Very Important Facts:
• Rabbits are not "low-maintenance" pets, and are not a good choice as a pet for a child.
• They have a lifespan of 10 years and need as much attention as a cat or dog.
• Your house must be bunny-proofed, or else your bunny will chew cords and furniture.
• Rabbits must be neutered or spayed or they will mark your house with urine and feces.
• They should live in the house, as part of the family.
If you know of someone that is purchasing a rabbit at Easter? Explain to them why it's a bad idea.
