Rabbits and small children are not a good match. You may want to think twice about getting a bunny for Easter.

Children like to hold and cuddle. Rabbits are not passive and cuddly. They are ground-loving animals who become frightened and insecure when held and restrained. The enthusiasm of even the gentlest child can be stressful for a sensitive rabbit. Usually the child loses interest and the family ends up neglecting or abandoning the animal.

The little Easter bunny grows large and can become a nuisance chewing, digging, and marking areas of the home with feces and urine. Think twice before investing in that cute little bunny!
