Pet Rabbit — 

I never thought that pets beyond dogs and cats had personality, or at least not strong personalities, but my first rabbit taught me differently. She's adorable for one, and an absolute drama queen. Each of my rabbits has their own unique personality, they're fairly easy to care for--litterbox trained so trips downstairs to go out or constant confinement in cages isn't necessary.

Rabbits aren't for everyone though. Their digestive systems are very touchy and a little research to know the right foods and in what quantities is necessary to keep them in good health. Also, with most pets, they should be spayed or neutered. Females have a very high rate of reproductive cancers if not spayed, and they can have false pregnancies which are very stressful for both the pet and the owner.

They do very good in pairs or trios if they're going to be left alone at home while you're at work, but introducing rabbits takes a bit of effort and should be done with caution. Again, do some research online, there are lots of great sites out there. One is the House Rabbit Society that has tons of online articles and information on any questions you may have.

Overall I adore my rabbits and prefer them to any other pet I've ever had.

I agree. We have 2 buns: Pearl (3 yrs old) and Sophe (10 months old). They both are so different in personality. Sophe reminds me a preteen looking to what she can get away with while Pearl just like to flop and sleep when sophe will leave her alone. I didn't wait to introduce them as I should have. so the intro of a new bun into Pearl's home was touch and go for a few months. Now I don't I could separate them if I tried. Sophe keeps Pearl active, I've added more toys for them to chew on and will be expanding their cage once we move into our home. My son is raising them as pets since he was 9 or so yrs old. some of the higher priced breeds are very delicate to care for that's way I chose the Rex breed this time. They're hardier to raise and take care of without a lot of vet bills which I found out there's pet insurance for rabbits. It's worth it one has delicate breeds or sickly rabbits.
