Buying a rabbit

[sweetgirl]

I'm considering buying a rabbit for my LO

Any advice or tips?

I'm looking for a smallish one, best place to get it?

TIA

[sweetgirl]

Also does anyone have a cage to sell?

I would be looking for an indoor one......

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"

This is a great resource and clear about why rabbits may not be the best pet for children.
