Thank you for this post. My dwarf bunny (which was a rescue from people that bought Easter bunnies for their kids, and those bunnies made a dozen more bunnies) turned 11 this year. It is so much more of a commitment to own a bunny than most people realize! It's a large chunk of space in your house, a LOT of hair (you would not think a 3lb animal would shed that much), it is replacing the french doors leading to your backyard because your bored bunny literally ate a hole through the door and let himself outside, it is an emergency vet visit to a specialist an hour and a half away because you woke up early one morning and bun was feeling poorly despite no prior signs of illness, it is a daily commitment to providing fresh greens and out of enclosure exercise and enrichment that needs to last for several hours, it is a bunny that you want to hug and snuggle soooo badly but bunny simply isn't into snuggles (not all bunnies like hugs and kisses!). It is also an adorable face to greet you every day, a wonderful member of your family, a sweet beggar of treats at every opportunity, and a rewarding and irreplaceable pet. People think a bunny is something cute and easy to put in a cage, but that could not be farther from the truth.
