Rabbits in Art, Literature, Culture

Author's note: I have lived with rabbits for many years. I currently have one very elderly rabbit. With the wealth of information available here, I have become a better bunnie "mom."

Bunnies kept in cages are not especially happy and live boring lives. They require daily care and attention and can live as long as a dog or cat. Think very carefully if you are considering a bunny as a pet. Do visit the
House Rabbit Society and learn as much as you can.

Petfinder now lists rabbits available for adoption and also has several useful articles on care. Check it out.
