It’s always much more beneficial for you to go to a rabbit rescue rather than a pet shop or breeder

Adopt don’t shop buy your rabbit

If you are purchasing for your children, please be aware that rabbits are not an ideal pet for small children. (Rabbits do not like being picked up) Caring for your rabbit takes a lot of time and dedication and you should not expect your child to cope with them on their own. Get involved too, after all …

Check for any local companies or rescues that can help look after your rabbits when you are on holiday.

Write down how much time each day you will have to dedicate to your pet rabbit

Contact a local vet to discuss costings of vaccinations etc. Ask for advice on what the most common health issues are and how to avoid them.

Volunteer at your local rescue before adopting & it will really help you learn quickly what is involved in looking after rabbits & what wonderful pets they truly make.

Educate yourself if you are new to owning rabbits. This website can help you out in all areas you need to know about.

Before you adopt: Plan your accommodation carefully. Decide Indoors or outdoors? Always remember the bigger the accommodation the better! See Bunny care – Housing ideas for some great set ups

You will feel pleased with yourself knowing you have given a rescue rabbit a loving forever home
