Rabbits can serve as an amazing companion to humans small & big. In case you are planning to get one for your child, make sure he/she is at least 10 years of age in order to understand the nuances of caring for another life & to be able to carefully handle and manage the pet. It is always important that some adult family member monitors and performs most of the duties pertaining to the rabbit. Rabbit love socializing with their human family. Also bunny adoption means an 8 to 12 year commitment as rabbits can easily live upto that age. Abandoning the pet mid-way and sending it off to some animal care shelter is not just an immature and unkind act but can affect the mental and physical health of the animal as they are forced to live in an unfamiliar setting.
The good news is that with a little patience rabbits can be litter-box trained as instinctually they pick out only one or two particular spots in the house to urinate or defecate. They will usually choose a corner of some room to pop out the pills/poop and urinate. It is very important to entitle your rabbit to the much deserved freedom to roam about freely in your home. In a scenario where some rabbit owners may want their pet to get used to a cage, it is important you allow your bunny a lot of time outside of it too (a minimum of 7 to 8 hours of daily freedom from cage). They love to play therefore it is important to offer them different kinds of toys they can even chew on and keep themselves entertained.
Don’t forget to indulge your fur-ball a little more on the 26th of September each year as the world celebrates International Rabbit Day!
