Musical Bunnies

If it is a wild rabbit, let it go.  They are not meant to be pets, in fact it is illegal in the state of North Carolina to own a wild rabbit.

If your child has found one they want on the internet or at a pet store, do your home work.  First of all find out about the breeder.  If the pet store is good they can tell you who their breeders are and where they are located.  If they are taking rabbits from any old breeder with out checking them out you do not want that rabbit.  I have friends that have contracts with local and national pet stores, but they provide the education to the stores about the rabbits.  If the store people can not answer the question or say they just get them off a truck, LEAVE.   You will be lucky if your rabbit will live a year.  Those rabbits are never in good health and typically I get a call later that year saying we need a bunny because mine just died.

Rabbit from the internet.  Well if you are reading this you are starting in the right direction.  Research is key.
