Thinking of Getting a Rabbit?

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.
