I agree with whats been said, I wouldn't encourage anyone to get a rabbit, or any animal, that they didn't want. As for why i love rabbits, so many people think they're just boring and all rabbits are the same, but they're all so different. All my rabbits had such different personalities, and it took a long time for Carrots to trust anyone at all. If i was upset or angry (and that happened a lot during my teenage temper tantrums) I coud also go to my sit with my bunnies and instantly feel so much calmer and happier.
They are a lot of work, but rabbits give so much back in their own little ways.
