Easter '08 is right around the corner. That’s the time when bunnies are bought by the hundreds, well thousands, by perhaps well meaning humans who wish add to the Easter Bunny myth and keep the magic alive for children. By summer the vast majority of these rabbits are discarded and most in inhumane ways. House rabbits are high maintenance companions; and although the rewards are great, there’s a lot of work and sometimes expense involved to provide optimum care.
Right now we have one lovely house rabbit, rescued from a shelter. Our previous bun who came to us through the House Rabbit Society adoption network still lives with us in spirit. These buns have truly benefited, as have we, from all we’ve learned about living with these marvelous creatures.
So if you are thinking of getting a rabbit step #1—visit and study the House Rabbit Society website and step #2 adopt a rabbit from a reputable rescue organization or shelter.

Great blog! I love the colors and the picture.
I hope you will do some posts about the good things of having a bunny pet. Since you have had 2 of them, it sounds like you would know that.

Thanks and yes we're just beginning!
Rescue bunnies rock! I have a bonded trio ranging in age from 3 to 13. I foster for the Minnesota Companion Rabbit Society and have met some amazing bunnies. Some start out very wary of humans but blossom as soon as they figure out that we aren't scary humans. :) Kudos to you for helping to get the bunnies & Easter message out there.
