With Easter a little over a week away, animal rescue groups in Southern California are urging people not to buy rabbits as holiday gifts for children.
They say that what begins as a well-meaning gesture often leads to abandoned animals when the novelty wears off and families realize they're not equipped to properly care for the pets.
"A chick that is half fluff and half feathers isn't very attractive," he told the station."And then it starts acting like a chicken. It becomes a pecking, pooping machine with just one purpose -- to become an adult hen or rooster. If you don't want an adult chicken living in your house or yard, don't get a baby chick."
"Our staff at San Diego Humane Society will assist folks interested in adopting a rabbit to learn all they need to know to have a happy, harmonious relationship with their new furry friend. Part of that discussion is how long an animal is expected to live, proper nutrition and housing, and the commitment it takes to ensure they live a healthy and happy life," Thompson added.
They're also not ideal pets for small children, as they respond best to quiet energy and can be easily spooked by the hyperactivity of a child.-- Domestic rabbits should be kept indoors at all times. -- They should be fed a diet of unlimited timothy hay , plus a daily portion of leafy greens and limited pellets.-- They need to be thoroughly groomed every two to three months to remove excess fur and have their nails trimmed.
