I'll admit that I don't know much about having a rabbit as a pet. Apparently, the Brits in England (where there are 1.3 million PET rabbits) don't either:
"It is a big problem. Rabbits are being killed with kindness. They are designed to eat grass but are being fed things like pizza, crisps and digestive biscuits," said Anna Meredith, head of the university's exotic animals service."There are about 1.3 million pet rabbits across the UK and, judging by what I see in my surgery, tens of thousands of them must be badly overweight," she told Reuters.
The fact is that allowing any pet to become obese isn't kindness, it's cruelty, and it also shortens the expected life of your pet. If you love your pet, you need to take care of them, keep them healthy, and insure that they will be with you for as long as possible. Pizza isn't rabbit food. In fact, it isn't any animal's food.
I'd be interested to know, by the way, if rabbits are actually affectionate, playful, etc. Do they do anything other than eat? I'm not trying to denigrate them -- I honestly just don't know and maybe many readers like myself here who only have experience with cats and dogs don't get the rabbit thing either...
Speak up! Make the case for rabbits!
