Rabbits Make Wonderful Pets


Meet the Cronkite Bunnies: Max, Chloe, Zoey and Andy

Are you looking for a new companion? Not enough time for a dog? Allergic to cats?

Rabbits make excellent pets, and offer a wonderful alternative where it may be impossible to keep dogs or cats. Rabbits are clean, docile, and intelligent. However, they still require responsible care and daily attention. Rabbits may live 6to 15 years depending upon the breed. Since there are over 40 recognized breeds of rabbits, check with a reliable source to determine what type would fit in with your lifestyle. The most popular are the smaller breeds, such as the Dutch, Holland Lop, Mini Lop, Netherland Dwarf, and Polish. Rabbits may be taught to use a litter box, and may be leash trained for trips outside the house.
