When you are considering getting a rabbit, you want to make sure that you are getting it for the right reasons. You should never ever purchase a rabbit for Easter, no matter how hard the kids are begging. You can get them a stuffed rabbit, that is just fine. But you should never purchase a rabbit for Easter, as thousands of rabbits are abandoned every year because they are purchased for Easter, kept for a few months until the family gets tired of them, and they are abandoned. They either are turned out in the wild or killed by other predators, or they are turned into rabbit rescue humane societies and other rescue organizations throughout the country. We do not recommend rabbits for households with small children. Small children generally want to pick up any pets in the household, and rabbits are somewhat uncomfortable being picked up and carried around. They are ground dwelling creatures, and any children or adults in the household should understand that if you are going to be interacting with your rabbit, it is most likely going to be on the floor where they are comfortable.
