Easter means a lot of things to our friends, but to the members of the House Rabbit Society, the time period just after Easter marks the annual rise in the numbers of pet rabbits relinquished to rescue. The reason is an increase in impulse buying of “Easter Bunnies” by families who aren’t prepared to care for an adult rabbit.

Our clinic and the House Rabbit Society think rabbits are excellent pets, but all owners should research the ins and outs of caring for a pet that may live 7-8 years or even longer. If you are thinking about a pet rabbit, and have questions, please give us a call, Avian and Exotic Animal Clinic: 317-879-8633, or contact a member of the Indiana House Rabbit Society at indianahrs.org We will be glad to guide you through the process, and help welcome your healthy and happy pet rabbit!
