Seattle, WA -- (SBWire) -- 02/27/2013 --It’s that time of year again when children and parents think that a real bunny might be the perfect Easter gift.
After all, bunnies are so soft and so adorable…and practically irresistible!
But before you adopt a house rabbit to give to your child or to yourself, a cautionary tale (tail!) is in order. You really should keep these things in mind:
- House rabbits can live for 7-10 years, so they require a very large commitment on the part of parents and children.
- House rabbits should always live inside, as a member of your family. They are prey animals, which means that if you let them run around on their own outside, they will be in grave danger of being eaten.
- House rabbits require as much care and attention as cats and dogs.
- You must bunny-proof your home because rabbits will vigorously chew on your electrical wires, furniture, carpet, rugs, baseboards and anything else they can get their teeth on. They aren’t being naughty when they do this; rabbits do this instinctively to keep their teeth from growing too long. (Bunny teeth grow five inches a year!)
- House rabbits should be spayed or neutered; otherwise they will mark your home in a very messy and unpleasant way.
- Rabbits are ground-loving animals who typically don’t like to be held. So if you are truly hoping for an Easter snuggle bunny, consider the plush or human variety!
