They are ground-loving creatures who feel frightened and insecure when held and restrained. Children like a companion they can hold, carry and cuddle, just as they do their favorite stuffed animal. It is unreasonable to expect a child to be able to take full responsibility for the care of a rabbit, or to make a 10-year commitment to anything. In fact, they require almost as much work as a dog. Predators abound, not only in rural areas, but in urban and suburban locations as well.
Outdoor rabbits become bored and depressed from isolation.
To confine these sensitive, intelligent, social animals to life in a hutch is to miss all the joy of sharing your life with a rabbit. We welcome your questions, comments or suggestions .
