I was walking my Stitch out on her leash and thecable guy was coming to remove someone's cable box and saw me with myrabbit so he immediatly walked up just to make sure I really did have arabbit on a leash.
He even after seeing Stitch said "thats a rabbit right?"
I said "Yes" he was so taken in by her he was like OMG that is soadorable I had no idea that you can take a rabbit out like that andimmediatly started asking questions about raising a bunny.
I told him how much time they need and the things to feed her and howloveable she is he then started to say "Oh my kids would love to have abunny" So Being the protective bunny parent that I am let him know thatKids and rabbits would be wonderful as long as the kids understand howmuch responsibility it is to have one and that they have to understandthe respect they have to show a bunny cause as cute as they look theycan hurt they do have teeth and sharp claws also they get things thatyour normal dogs and cats dont get such as GI Stasis and things of thatsort.
I also let him know that Rabbits aren't one that you can pick upconstantly and snuggle because they do have sharp claws and willscratch. Responsible children that show good respect foranimals are great for bunnies but they can be difficult depending onthe personality of your rabbit. He was petting Stitch andfalling in love with her cause she will let anyone walk up on her for agood petting.
I told him if he was thinking of getting a rabbit to put alot ofthought into it as they are very social animals and do like tosocialize but if they get dropped or fall they can get seriouslyinjured they have to be picked up a certain way and they also requirecertain types of nutrition for diets. I let him know that theshelter does have rabbits available but only after putting alot ofthought into getting one because so many rabbits have already been putin shelters or mistreated because people do get tired of them.
I didnt mean to lecture the man hehehe but it just came out that way.
