The Duchess
Wise Old Thumper
As many of you will already be aware, Make Mine Chocolate! is the campaign to stop the impulse purchase of bunnies.
One way we are trying to make people realise what they are taking on before they buy is by producing our own set of leaflets that would be available to the public before they get to the counter at the garden centre or pet shop. We all know that many people purchase on a whim, with many regretting it later, resulting in them giving up their rabbit or leaving it to lead a miserable existance without the correct care for the rest of it's life.
Now, everybody on here obviously cares about their buns or they just wouldn't be here, but I'm sure that for some, you may not have taken on a rabbit or rabbits if you'd known what was involved.
There are some very obvious topics such as accommodation and diet, but what do you wish you'd known before you had rabbits that might have made you stop and think whether you should take them on or not?
I'll list the main topics, but if there is something specific that you feel would be worth new owners knowing before they commit to taking on rabbits?
We'd love to hear your opinions.
