I am a 10+ commitment!
I have costly Vet Bills!
I need to be Neutered or Spayed other wise I could become aggressive!
I need lots of attention or I become sad and grumpy
If you handle me to roughly I will become scared and will bite and could be injured by rough handling.
I need to be fed lots of hay and some leafy greens with a small amount of quality pellets.
A lot of vegetables and plants are bad or toxic for me.
I am not a pet for Young Children who can hurt me,get bored with me and doesn't know how to look after me properly.
I AM A RABBIT FOR LIFE NOT JUST EASTER!!
It is so important to spread the word, Speedy! So many humans still don't realize that bunnies are high maintenance pets, maybe even moreso than kitties (although we are also more high maintenance than many humans realize). If a human wants to adopt a bun - any time of year - that's fine, as long as they know what they are getting into.
ReplyDeleteSpeedy! HERE HERE....it is wise to tell the truth about the responsibility of caring for a rabbit, and these realities are why we have not yet committed to owning one of YOU! We are so busy that we'd never be able to give the proper time to love and take care of a bunny. I so hope people are learning from the mistakes of past Easters to NOT give a bunny to a child, or to an adult who has no clue what to do! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteAll pets, even a small gerbil are pets for life. If you can't make that commitment, don't take a pet home!
ReplyDeleteGood reminder Speedy!!

Speedy we 200% agree with you....so many folks do impulse shopping for all kinds of pets and w/o research or the understanding that all pets are for life not for 'just right now"!!

This is such an important message. Thanks for sharing. We have a bunny sister who was a school rabbit and was then abandoned. We love her dearly.
ReplyDeleteVery, very important message!
ReplyDeleteWe couldn't agree more Speedy and we sure wish that wouldn't happen.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very important message, Speedy! Pets are for life. People need to do their research and realize that while bunnies can make great pets, they do need to be well looked after!
ReplyDeleteSpeedy, this is such an important message. Thanks for reminding people.
ReplyDeleteThe same for the baby birds that are given children at Easter.

ReplyDeleteAgree 100% Speedy. As a bunny tender at my local Rescue I think Bunnies are awesome but need a lot more respect than people realise!
