When thinking about Easter, many people think about springtime candy like Peeps and Cadbury Eggs. But numerous people also consider buying a rabbit for their family for the holiday. Why not? They look cute and cuddly, and seem like sweet animals. However, you need to be sure when purchasing a rabbit you are aware that they are not low maintenance animals. Adopting a rabbit is a commitment and, your family needs to be in it 210 percent!
An uncommon fact is rabbits are very coy creatures. When children are too excited, it will scare the rabbit. They like to be left alone, and if it is quiet they might want to play with children—but only if it the atmosphere is very calm! After having a rabbit for a few weeks, children will realize that their new pet is tranquil and is not like having a dog or cat. This might result in losing interest in the animal.
Rabbits do not enjoy being held in people’s arms. Children always want to pick up their very own Peter-Cotton-Tail, but it may kick and scratch when it is picked up. Rabbits also have very brittle bones, and when they are picked up or played with by someone a little bit too rough, then it can result in injuries and broken bones.
Just like having any other kind of pet, rabbits require human attention. They need exercise and some stimulation outside of their cage, and need their litter changed daily. Having a rabbit is a very big responsibility. If your family is not in it for the right reasons, a rabbit may not be the right pet for you. Families do like adopting rabbits for the Easter Holidays, but need to know the right facts on how to take care of it.
Center Pet wishes that you have a wonderful and “Hoppy” Easter!
