| - Rabbits make great pets. They're full of character and do spectacularly goofy convulsive leaps around your house when they're happy. Yes, you can get them neutered/spayed (which is advised, otherwise you you'll have lots and LOTS of leaping bunnies). Plus, you can litter box train them. Like a cat! (Only better, because it's cuter, it hops, and doesn't vomit hairballs in front of dinner guests.)
But sadly, most people don't know that, and a lot of people buy them as cute fuzzy gifts, cram them in a little cage, get tired of them ("all it does is sit in that cage!") and then let them go outdoors so they'll be 'free.' Usually the poor domesticated buns end up dead instead. But if they're lucky, someone finds them and takes them to Brambley Hedge Rabbit Rescue, a rabbit-specific shelter where they can get attention, outdoor playtime, love and socialization.
If you're looking to adopt a rabbit, please call these guys first. They have lots of rabbits that need a good home. You can also set up a "bunny date" if you'd like to find a companion for a rabbit you've already adopted.
