I agree, thats one of the main reasons I wanted rats, not rabbits.

The males are kept separate from the females, and generally have 6+ hours out side the cage, the males get more because they are in a more confined place, where there are no hazards…

What I don’t understand is why don’t people get animals because they want to love them, not because they want a novelty? Every time a new movie comes out, people either run out to get the animal, or grab their gun and kill it!

If people could take the time and get real research done, we wouldn’t have to rescue their castoffs!

And some breeders are careless! I breed fish, but just because I can’t sell some of them doesn’t give me the power to decide to kill any of them! just because I gave them to opportunity to breed, doesn’t mean I created them! So because their lives aren’t ours to begin with, what right do we have to take them!

I got an easter bunny for my girl and would say I didn’t think she would need so much love and care. I thought I’d bring her in and she’d just hop around the house and be cute. The truth is yes she hops around the house and is very cute, but after much reseach I came to the conclusion these shops are selling these buns for all the wrong reasons and should stop selling them. I should have known better when they could not tell me what sex she was. Good thing for my Bun I’m a pet owner who understands when you get a pet it is a comment for the rest of their lives. I love my bunny and would never part with her, but I do think we as a public should make it clear we do not want to see baby bunnies in pet shop windows anymore. Most of them end up dead, homeless, locked in a cage 24 hours a day seven days a week or just poorly cared for.

As someone who also gets the phone calls of the after-Easter bunny, I just wanted to offer a word of thanks and support for what you do.

I adopted a discarded Easter bunny and he is the joy of my life. What his previous “family” didn’t care about, I cherish every day.

In my own line of work, I also try to help people through their problems, but there is every excuse in the book why whatever I say just won’t work. It won’t work because they’re not willing to try.

So, I salute you and hang in there.
