We know how tempting it is—baby bunnies are SO cute, and are often represented as the perfect Easter surprise. But the truth is, rabbits are not seasonal gifts… they are a 10+ year commitment.
Every year after Easter, shelters and rescues see a heartbreaking increase in abandoned rabbits. Why? Because many people don’t realize that bunnies:
✨ Require specialized diets (constant supply of fresh hay + special serving of greens daily)
✨ Need lots of space (not cages!) and enrichment
✨ Can be expensive with vet care
✨ Have complex social and emotional needs
Rabbits are intelligent, sensitive animals who deserve forever homes, not temporary excitement.
This Easter, we urge you to:
-Choose chocolate, not live animals
- Consider joining our foster team!
-Support rescues instead of impulse buying
- Education is key!
If you’ve been considering a bunny, we love that for you—just take the time to research and adopt responsibly when you’re truly ready.
Let’s keep bunnies out of shelters and in loving homes where they belong.
❤️
