Unfortunately, in the hustle and bustle excitement of Easter. It is very easy to get caught up in the 'bunny hype' and forget how much of a commitment getting a bunny is for a pet/gift. Bunny Rabbits are bought as gifts for Easter, then end up on Kijiji, Craigslist, or your local shelter by June when Easter excitement has worn off. It is also important to remember that giving a bunny as a gift is getting a pet, not just "giving a gift" Getting a new pet is always exciting, but I beg that you do you research before you decide to add a new family member to your clan! Although we definitely need as many people as we can to adopt bunny's in need of a home, we also want them to stay at their forever home. So with that being said, please do your research before you decide to give a bunny this Easter.
Here's some quick facts you may not have known about Bunny Rabbits!
1. Approximately over 2 million U.S. and ________ Canadian households own a pet rabbit.
2. Rabbits teeth never stop growing, ever! That's why it's so important that they have chew toys to chew on.
3. The largest litter of bunny's consisted of 24 kits (baby bunny's)!
4. Unbelievingly rabbits can be litter trained like a cat.
5. Also alike cats, rabbits can purr.
6. Rabbits can live up to 10 years - which is why it is so important to commit to a bunny before you decide to adopt one.
7. The World’s Largest Rabbit named “Darius” weighs approximately 50 pounds and is currently 4 feet, 3 inches.
8. The “most valuable” rabbit on Earth, “Darius”, is currently insured for around $1.6/million and has his own personal caretaker aka body guard.
9. Rabbits cannot vomit.
10. Rabbits have 28 (ever growing) teeth.
I hope you enjoyed these quick facts and remember;
If you have decided to get a rabbit this Easter, Adopt Don't Shop!!
Most of the shelters around you have rabbits, and those who don't will know another shelter that will.
