I was the grand age of 44 when I got my 1st rabbit.
When I was young & growing up, I couldn't see the point of rabbits as pets. Our pets, over the years a cat, a dog & a hamster, all lived indoors with my family & were cared for & loved. A few of my friends had rabbits, of which they showed no interest, the poor things lived ignored in a hutch at the bottom of the garden & caused so many arguments with their parents over cleaning them out I just didn't see them as pets.
I had wanted a pet for years but wouldn't get one as I worked full time. I then heard about house rabbits & how they could be an ideal pet for working people. It took me 5 years & a lot of reading up to decide eventually to get a rabbit & then I heard of someone who wanted to rehome a 9 month old house rabbit. He was well used to a 9 -5 routine & it was agreed he would come on a 2 week trial & after day one I knew he wasn't going back.
He was simply enchanting & I & my O/H fell totally & utterly in love with him. He was a tiny BEW Polish X Nethie who I renamed him Robin & he taught us what a joy it is living with a rabbit.
