I don't want to spoil your idea, but a member of my family bought a rabbit for their little girl because the mother was allergic to cats. I'm afraid it wasn't that exciting a pet and seemed to be more of a nuisance. The cage needs cleaning out every day and they had to board it out for holidays. If you thought of having it indoors it might be more fun

Advice- just make sure you are aware of the commitment that buying a rabbit entails. We lost our two bunnies this year and last year aged 11 and 10 respectively!


It is generally recommended to neuter them, they require regular vaccinations and vet bills can be expensive if not insured.


RWAF is a great resource https://rabbitwelfare.co.uk/rabbit-care-advice/ownership/


If you are still keen, look into adoption.


I think they are great pets but its important people realise owning one is more like owning a cat than a hamster.

It's not all Bugs Bunny


I never really forgot Bugs version of the Ring Cycle (1957) "Kill the Wabbit"

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By beansprout · Posted

      Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….

      Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.

      I haven't used them myself but I noticed recently that "Snoots" in Forest Hill is going unlimited primary care for £33/month, so basically a subscription. Easy access on the 176 from East Dulwich. I have no idea what it includes so read the contract! It's a chain but only 5 branches so not a mega corporate. 🤷‍♂️ https://www.snootsvet.com/find-us
