Walking past a pet store yesterday, I saw a proud (albeit cheap and falling apart) sign: "We have Easter bunnies!"
People, I beg of you, do not buy a pet as a gift ever. If you truly want a rabbit as a pet, first research the care and attention that they will need. Then, whatever you do, don't buy one from a pet store! Bunny mills exist just as true as puppy mills do, especially this time of year. If you wait a month or two after the spring holidays, there will, unfortunately, be more than enough hoppers in need of a home. People buy them because they are cute, then get rid of them when they become too much too handle. So if you must have an Easter bunny of your own, please rescue one that gets ditched after the season.
