I am gulity of only ever having ne rescue rabbit..and i would say that really for a firts time bun i wouldnt recommned it but for a se cond time bunny or partner i would..
i was soo naive when we ot our first bun..from apet shop..says it all really!
My second was from an accidentallitter of a freind of a friends...he was fine cept he had bladder crystals died suddenly aged 18 monhts old but never had a dental prob inhis life!
My third was from a breeder closing down who asured me no dental probs buns..hmm idiot me!
My fourth was from a rescue for a partner to myother bunny..she is never ging to get over her problems and i wished i could make her as happy as possible but its been so nasty here blessher..losing oscar then the house getting flooded andher becoming so ill because of it all..in another 6 months who knows but poor litle gal..not what id recommend for a novice owner..theyd send her to a rescue!
Bertie our fifth bunny is an ex stud/show bun who got into a fight with another buck and needed to be castrated cos of it and thenbecame a pet.
I dont like the thought of breeders with rabbits butif you wanta certainbreed then its often theonly way to go..frenchies in partcular.
heres a good piece on breeders vs pet stores vs backayrdbreeders..
the commercial breeders to pet store is something id love to paste outsdie every pet store selling bunnies..
