Am I ready to own a bunny?
A lot of people think that taking care of a bunny is super easy...just throw it some veggies, give it a bowl of water, and let it stay in its cage all day while you are at work. no! exact opposite. Bunnies need quality pellets, hay and a certain amount of veggies. They need to have daily exercise, (a couple hours a day) and lots of attention and love. Visit our "bunny diet" page to see what a bunny needs for food.

This list of requirements will help decide whether you are able to own a bunny or not.
- Do you have a work schedule that will allow you to have a few hours to be around your bunny each day? And enough time to let it run around under supervision for exercise?
- Are you willing to give your bunny quality pellets, hay and veggies?
- Do you have someone who will take care of and play with your bunny when you are on vacations?
- Are you willing to possibly spend 300$+ to get your bunny spayed/neutered to make it a good family pet?
- Do you know that bunnies take as much work as a dog?
Until you can answer "yes" to all of those questions, it would be best not to pursue a pet rabbit.
