Our
friend Fluffy asked me to help spread the word about Easter Bunnies.
Bunnies are cute and cuddly looking and peoples like to buy them for
childrens at Easter time but Fluffy wanted you to know that bunnies
aren’t always good pets for childrens.
People
think that bunnies are easy to take care of but they are not.
Bunnies need as much care as a dog or cat. Like dogs and cats,
bunnies need to be fed and their houses need to be kept clean.
Bunnies need to go to the Vet too. Although some bunnies go for
walks with their humans, most don’t.
Lots
of time childrens s get tired of their bunny after a few weeks but
bunnies can live for like 10 years so too many end up in shelters or
let free outside. Domestic bunnies aren’t good at living in the
wild and get eaten by other animals and if they are not adopted from
the shelter, they get died there too. How sad!
Fluffy
says that bunnies make really good pets and he loves his human family
but here are lots of things peoples should know about bunnies before
they bring one home.
Like
dogs and cats, it takes money to raise a bunny. Like we said, they
need food and shelter. Some bunnies live in their human’s houses
and some have their own houses, called hutches.
Bunnies
that have the run of the house need to be watched closely because,
like puppies they tend to like to chew on things when bored. Things
like your computer cables or your woodwork. I haven’t really
looked to see what toys bunnies like but Fluffy says he likes the
cardboard thing that comes with paper towels. Hmmmm so does
DixieLee.
Bunnies
can be trained to use a litter box like a cat but Fluffy says it’s
not easy.
Bunnies
are social animals so they need love and attention. They really
don’t like to be petted or hugged and they are delicate so they
need to be handled very gently.
Like
dogs and cats, bunnies should be spayed or neutered. It’s good for
their health.
If
you would like a bunny for a pet, check with various shelters or
rabbit rescue organizations. They will surely have too many
abandoned bunnies soon after Easter.
Help
Fluffy spread the word about Easter Bunnies and suggest that one made
out of chocolate or a plush one might be a better gift for most
childrens.
Happy
Easter!
