Earlier today, I went to a friend’s house for dinner- and she surprised me by introducing me to her new pet. A bunny! She was extremely sweet and loved being petted by everyone. I’m actually allergic to rabbits, so I didn’t get to snuggle with her too much, but she was so cute that I couldn’t resist. Rabbits are some of the sweetest pets you can have- but they need a lot of care to keep them healthy and happy- like any pet. If you are thinking of getting a rabbit, be sure to keep the following in mind (found on this board on Pinterest) :
-Like dogs, bunnies need LOTS of space to live on and thrive. Don’t just stick them in a cage! Let them out to play whenever possible.
-A healthy rabbit diet consists of mostly (80%) hay. They should ideally eat a ball of hay that is the size of the rabbit’s body each day. Other foods the bunnies love are greens, and pellets. They should only be given treats like carrots and apples sparingly (once or twice a week).
-Rabbits are very sociable, fun-loving animals. They thrive with other bunnies- so consider getting your bunny a friend or two (they should all be neutered, of course!.) They also love attention from you, and need lots of toys to play with to keep from getting bored.
Meeting my friend’s new bunny and doing my own research has made me really want one. Too bad I can’t touch one without sneezing for an hour! I guess I’ll just have to live with my curse, and go over to visit her as often as possible 🙂Â
