Make mine chocolate


Think twice before buying a real Easter bunny. People buy rabbits thinking they're great low maintenance starter pets, but as a pet, they are actually more time-consuming than dogs. They have cages that need to be cleaned, like other small animals, but they need social interaction like a dog does, at least a couple of hours out of their cage each day.

Your home needs to be carefully rabbit-proofed against chewing. The many electrical cords required by modern living are a particular hazard. Although rabbits can be affectionate, they don't like to be picked up, which is frustrating for children, and can result in injury to the rabbit when it tries to get away. Spaying and neutering is critical. Otherwise, behavioral problems start at puberty, including territorial aggression and smelly spraying. A pet rabbit can live 10 to 12 years.

Because people often don't understand what they're getting into when they buy a rabbit, and rescue organizations get at least 30 phone calls a month from people wanting to give them up, many of which were bought as gifts for children at Easter.

That problem is why the Columbus House Rabbit Society started their "Make Mine Chocolate!" campaign. The campaign encourages a better understanding of rabbits by distributing educational literature, and raises awareness of the Easter issue by selling rabbit pins that resemble chocolate bunnies.

I wonder ...

I found this photo at My House Rabbit's Blog, but ...


I'm not so sure that those are rabbits. Don't the ears look kind of bat-ish?

And I wonder what the occasion was. Couldn't be Easter, everyone knows there's only ONE Easter Bunny!

The eglu for rabbits



The eglu for rabbits

The eglu has a front door which opens using the handle on the top. This handle also locks the door so when your rabbits are in the run you can clean the eglu, without the chance of them escaping! When your rabbits are in the eglu, you can close the door and then pick them up or stroke them using the side hatch.

Last Pair of Pygmy Rabbits Breed Successfully

The only surviving pair of endangered pygmy rabbits released as part of a program to increase their numbers in the wild have dodged coyotes, badgers, hawks and owls and found time for love.

Proud scientists announced Thursday that the rabbits have successfully bred.

The rabbits, slightly larger than a man's hand, eat sagebrush and are the only rabbits in the United States that dig their own burrows.

Hare Traffic Control: Rabbits Shut Airport

Milan's Linate airport was closed early Sunday while 200 hunters tried to outfox scores of hares infesting its runways.

The operation was ordered after hares became tangled in aircraft landing gear twice in recent weeks.

Officials say at least 80 hares are living on the airport grounds, confusing radar equipment and endangering flights taking off and landing.

Choose Chocolate, Not Fur: A Rabbit Reality Check

As Easter approaches, hearts and minds naturally turn toward springtime and all that it entails. During this enchanting season, many of us feel the impulse to give colorful Easter baskets brimming with surprises for children. Too often, one such “surprise” is a velvet-eared, live baby bunny, adorably nestled among green plastic grass and pastel chocolate eggs. While it is often tempting to give those cuddly little creatures as pets at Easter, Marie Mead cautions that people must educate themselves about the nature and needs of rabbits before taking the bunny plunge.

“Rabbits are very misunderstood animals,” says Marie Mead, creator of celebratingrabbits.com and author of the upcoming book Rabbits: Gentle Hearts, Valiant Spirits—Inspirational Stories of Rescue, Triumph, and Joy (Nova Maris Press, Spring 2007, $18.95). “They are extremely sensitive, intuitive, and gentle creatures who require extensive attention and mature guardianship—something many people don’t realize when they purchase a baby bunny. It’s a very sad fact that most rabbits don’t even enjoy a year of happiness with their new caretakers. Instead of living out their normal lifespan¬¬––eight to 12 years––they often die within the first year of life.

“Many rabbits are injured or become ill due to improper handling and care and, as a result, either die painful deaths or are euthanized,” says Mead. “Discarded bunnies overrun the animal shelters after Easter, resulting in many rabbits being euthanized due to space constraints and other factors.
