Superior Rabbits & EquipmentIn business since 1991Should I get a bunny? What breed is right for me? There are 47 recognized rabbit breeds with the American Rabbit Breeders Association. This makes the decision of which rabbit is best for you very hard. If you only plan to keep one animal, a doe (female) or buck (male) will make a wonderful pet. If you want to get 2 without the fear of babies you will need to get 2 does. Two bucks will most likely fight and hurt each other as they get older in the same cage. Take your time and look Do not rush into buying a rabbit. Look to see what is out there. You need to realize that this is a long term commitment. A rabbits life span is 5 to 10 years. Rabbits like dogs and cats are wonderful companions for people of all ages. They can be litter trained and kept indoors or outdoors. The age of the bunny You should never buy a bunny that is under 6 weeks old and it is best to wait until they are 8 weeks old. The health of the bunny A bunny that is healthy will be alert and aware of its surrounding. If it sits and does not react to surrounding noise or quick movements; it might be sick. Children and Bunnies If you have small children you need to consider the child's age before getting a pet rabbit. Many small children don’t realize they are being rough and they may hurt the bunny by accident. Also the rabbit may scratch the child. A good age for children to get a pet rabbit is 5 to 7 years of age. Some younger children will be very good with bunnies and others may not. You need to use your own discretion. All rabbits make great pets and have gentle disposition. They range in size from 2 to 20 lbs. |
