Reply #17: They make great pets! [View All]

As long as your expectations are realistic,and you are prepared to accomodate their needs.(you could say that about nearly any pet).I've had rabbits for years. As has been said,they are not good pets for small children. You can get coverings for electrical cords,which is a big help. Rabbits will always chew..they have to,or else their front teeth will grow extremely long and they will be unable to eat. Appropriate chewing materials must always be provided. I've never had a problem accomodating their needs,because they are charming and intelligent little companions and well worth the trouble. They wouldn't be the best pet for someone who has little time,and intends to keep them caged all the time. They are active animals,and need to hop and move around.
