So true. And in the UK, they have to have mixamatosis jabs too. And sometimes they need teeth trimming by the vet if a problem develops. It can be very expensive, and kids get bored with them in 5 minutes, especially when it comes to cleaning.

And they're usually placed in unsuitable housing where they cannot move enough, because it's too small. They need huge housing - more like an aviary than a hutch, because they bounce up to three feet and more sometimes, and like to run! And get depressed and ill if they can't.

Rescue centres are heaving with unwanted rabbits because idiots bought them when they were cute little things in a shop.
