Hi folks. A thought has been germinating in my soft gray layers about possibly getting my mother a rabbit. For those who know a bit about me here the originally the idea was if my Flemish Doe doesn't bond with my buck that I'd give her to my mom and help take care of her. However having the doe I just don't think that's feasible since I fell hard for her and I think I can make it work.
Brings me back to my momma though. She lives by herself, isn't in the best shape but can nominally take care of a pet. In fact she had a dog but my brother took it in after she got sick, and after 8 months when my mom got better his kids fell in love with the dog. My mom didn't want to fight him on this or deprive the kids, but she does miss a pet. She says she doesn't want one, I think she's a bit afraid is all of losing another one like that.
So of course I might not do it at all, but if I did get her a rabbit what's the smallest, friendliest and easiest breed? I know breeds are generalities, but it helps. I also know small breeds tend to be more energetic, which if there is a lazier type that would help. I'll most likely have to do the bigger cleaning so I'd think smaller is better since I got my giants at my own home to contend with. Thanks for the help.
