Is a Rabbit the Right Pet for You? A Video by the Marin Humane Society

An overview of what it's like to live with a bunny and what you should know before you consider adopting one. Most animal shelters have a lot of rabbits who were bought at pet stores and later given up by people who didn't understand the long-term commitment of being a rabbit guardian.

@Kalinkinaful Assuming she's super familiar with that particular rabbit and it's very comfortable with her and doesn't mind too too much as the nose is pretty quiet but in handling rabbits in general, don't ever do that! They're ground creature and tend to get very scared/kick when their legs aren't supported.

[Kalinkinaful]

As a note, you should always support all four legs while holding a rabbit. I'm kind of shocked this video (at around 0:55 shows the woman just letting his legs dangle--very bad idea!) as it's supposed to be an educational video....

I've never understood how anyone could keep a rabbit in a cage. An enclosure, sure. They naturally gravitate toward enclosures since they're earthy creatures that build warrens to live in. That only makes sense. But a tiny cage? That's just cruel.

@rainbowXsmurfs It really depends on the rabbit and how you treat them. Now if you have dogs , I suggest you keep your rabbit away from them, no matter how big or how "sweet" they are. I was once walking adrenaline in my yard on a rabbit leash, and my mom had let her dogs out not knowing I was walking my rabbit, and three small dogs began attacking and biting my rabbit. I had grabbed the dogs and threw them off him and put my rabbit back in his hutch and checked him for any scars or anything. H

@rainbowXsmurfs it's doesnt matter whether it's male or female as long as its spayed/neutered. That as well decreases aggression that might trigger nipping.
