Thinking of adopting an Easter Bunny? 

While they can make wonderful pets, it’s important to remember that rabbits are exotic animals that require a lot of care.

Domestic rabbits can live up to 12 years of age.
Rabbits are exotic pets, meaning that not all vets can care for them, and specialist care is often more expensive.
Rabbits are very sensitive to noise, and need to be handled with care. Children should not be in charge of taking care of them.

Additionally, rabbits require a lot more care than you may expect…
They need a big space (minimum of 3x3x1m), and should, if possible, be kept free inside your home.
Bunnies should be toilet-trained -  just like cats and dogs.

You need to clean their hutch every day, including disinfecting their water and food bottles with rabbit-safe products.
They require frequent nail trims and dental check-ups, requiring help from your vet.
Rabbits need to be let out of their cage daily to play and exercise.
Bunnies love playing with their toys and digging around in their enclosure. Ensure you provide adequate entertainment.
They need their hair brushed daily to avoid mats.
They need to eat plenty of fresh veg and hay, in addition to their feed. “All-in-one” solutions are not conducive to a healthy bun.
Bunnies are companion animals, so ideally should be kept as a pair

Before adopting a bunny, please ensure that you are ready to commit to providing the care that they need.

We hope you and your family have a great Easter!
