I remember growing up as a child I always wanted a pet rabbit. Let’s face it, who wouldn’t. Rabbits were soft, easy to care for, and each one kind of reminded you of Bugs Bunny from the cartoon which of course, was a big plus.
Rabbits are the perfect pets for families for a variety of reasons. Rabbits are inexpensive and do not require a lot of maintenance. For a busy family that may not have time to walk a dog daily, a rabbit is exactly what you are looking for. Rabbits are as playful and silly as any puppy, as independent and curious as cats, and as loyal and affectionate as dogs. The longer you own a pet rabbit, the more domesticated and intelligent it becomes. More often than not people view rabbits as mindless, furry creatures, but there’s so much more to a rabbit than cute ears and a soft nose. Their intelligence is adaptive and more elegant than most pets. Rabbits are quick learners when it comes to responding to simple words and commands, as well as navigating obstacles around the house. It’s very unlikely you find a chewed up shoe or something destroyed when you come home to a pet rabbit in the house.
