ARE YOU READY FOR A RABBIT?

Before anyone invites a companion animal home to live with them, they should be thoroughly knowledgeable about the needs and normal behaviors of that animal. For the person considering getting their first rabbit, the following list of questions (links) below is designed to move you through the process of deciding whether or not you should live with a rabbit, how to acquire a rabbit, and how to prepare and care for and understand rabbits.

Rabbits are great companion animals for the right people. Please take the responsibility of rabbit guardianship seriously. If you do not your rabbit may end up paying with his or her life.

SHELTER RABBIT WAITING

FOR A FOREVER HOME

Watch the video of Stephanie Shain, Companion Animal Project Manager for HSUS talking about puppy mill issues (they are the same for rabbit mills) and Lana Lehr, Managing Director of RabbitWise, talking with Lloyd Aguero of http://www.greatfallsdogtraining.com about what you should consider before inviting a rabbit home to live with you at http://www.rctv28.com/videosDB.htm

What should I know about rabbits before I invite a rabbit home to live with my family and me?

What else must I consider before I bring a rabbit home?

Why should I adopt instead of buy a rabbit?

Should I adopt a baby or an adult rabbit, a single or a pair (bonding rabbits)? What about breed? (sexing rabbits)

What preparations do I need to make before I bring my rabbit home (rabbit housing, rabbit proofing your home)?

Where can I adopt a rescued rabbit?

Now that you've read through everything, take the quiz.

WHY A RABBIT?

The Dilemma of Vegan Cat Food

Maybe you want to adopt a cat, but the thought of killing a cow to feed a cat makes you a little sick to your stomach. And you're not sure if vegan cat food is healthy, or you're overwhelmed by the cost of it… Maybe it's time to start thinking outside the kitty litter box. Think longer ears and a shorter tail, that's right, a rabbit!

Rabbits are naturally vegans, and they make great companions. Rabbits actually can be litter trained very easily. Just think about that natural bond you feel when you meet other vegans…wouldn't you like to share that with your companion animal?

Rabbits are the third most abandoned animal, and there are fewer people who are looking to adopt a rabbit from a shelter. Philadelphia is full of rabbits looking for homes. If you're interested in adopting a rabbit, first read up on rabbit care at
www.rabbit.org. Then visit the websites of some of the following rescue groups and see which sweet rabbit steals your heart away:

Animal Rescue Foundation of Southeastern Pennsylvania, www.arfsepa.com; The Rabbit Habit, www.rabbithabit.org; The Animal Coalition of Delaware County, www.acdc.ws; The House Rabbit Society of Southeastern Pennsylvania and Delaware, http://houserabbit.usersource.com/. PACCA (PAWS), PSPCA, and the Morris Animal Refuge all typically have some rabbits looking for homes as well. You can e-mail Leila at lfusfeld@gmail.com if you are thinking about adopting a rabbit and want advice about bunny care.
