Bunnies and small children do not get along. Young children move swiftly, are frequently boisterous, and can cause rabbits to feel easily anxious. When rabbits feel scared, they leap and eventually hurt themselves. Because rabbits have potent back legs, their hind legs need support when held. Otherwise, they would kick, potentially breaking their backs. As a result, when handling a rabbit, adults must always supervise young children.
Pet rabbits are different from wild backyard bunnies. Domesticated ones have no idea how to defend themselves against predators or where to locate food. They cannot manage independently and would most certainly perish if they will not eat or have a safe shelter if left outdoors. Too many individuals are unaware of this and release pet rabbits, particularly after Easter, back into the outside environment when these creatures do not live up to their owners’ expectations. Instead of releasing them back to nature, pet owners should donate unwanted rabbits to shelters for adoption.
