  • Hi my name is Sarah and this is Halibut, and I am one of the exotic technicians here at

  • Extra Care Animal Hospital, and on behalf of Expert Village.com, I am going to provide

  • you with some helpful information on owning a rabbit. 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. If you would

  • like more information about our animal hospital, you can visit our website at www.extracareanimal.net.
