Bunnies nowadays are considered ‘in- house’ residents just like your dog, cat or bird. They are a sweet , loveable species requiring large, clean, comfortable living arrangements with plenty of space to run and jump and play (very similar to a puppy). Bunnies need unlimited amounts of fresh hay, clean fresh water daily, a salad and nourishing pellets that are produced specifically for a bunny to thrive on.

There are also many misconceptions about rabbits. While most rabbits are friendly, craving pets and attention, the majority of them don’t like to be held. In addition, they have fragile bone structures that break easily if they are dropped. Young children need to be taught to never pick up a bunny. Rabbits are also larger than most people realize, but size with rabbits (like dogs) depends on the breed.

Consider adoption! House Rabbit Network has many ‘retired Easter Bunnies’ who are looking for their forever home. Bunnies are a 10 year commitment, require veterinary care (you need to find an exotics vets, not a regular vet) , and who want and need caretakers who will take the time to learn about them and live happily ever after together! Want to adopt? Please call House Rabbit Network and we will help you! 781-431-1211.

Most of all—bunnies need love and attention (don’t we all?).
