At House Rabbit Society, we believe rabbits are wonderful companions, but they're not for everyone. If you've never had a rabbit before, we encourage you to spend time on our website, houserabbit.org, learning more about them, and not purchasing one impulsively for the Easter holiday.
Yes! Along with Ricardo.

We believe rabbits are wonderful companions, but they're not for everyone. If you've never had a rabbit before, we encourage you to spend time on our website, houserabbit.org, learning more about them and whether they would be a good fit for you and not purchasing one impulsively for Easter.
Did you know that rabbits poop 200-300 times per day? That's a lot of poop! ๐ฉ If you're not ready for a lifetime commitment of cleaning up poop, consider fostering a rabbit first so you can experience what it's like caring for one before you make a lifetime, 10-year commitment to adopt!
We accept inspiring or informative articles and thoughtful essays that support our philosophy as well as original photography, artwork, and poetry. We encourage you to browse past issues at houserabbit.org/journal to see the types of works we publish.

Rabbits can live 10+ years, require specialized veterinary care, and belong as part of the family, just like dogs and cats. They're intelligent, sensitive companions, not gifts to be bought on a whim.
This Easter, choose compassion: adopt, don't shop! Every year around this time, rabbits are purchased on impulse as gifts for children, seen as seasonal accessories or living toys. But rabbits are not low-maintenance pets, and many of them are later surrendered to shelters or abandoned outdoors.
