(EASTER BUNNIES) Rabbits bought as Easter gifts cause problems for animal shelters across the nation. After dogs and cats, they are most often surrendered to shelters especially after this spring holiday. Bunnies can live up to ten years, need veterinary care, fresh vegetables, and toys.

Read on for more on this issue and how to responsibly bring a rabbit into your family. — Global Animal

(LIFE WITH PETS) Easter is here and pet stores are filled with rabbits just waiting to hop into your Easter basket. So you and your children – especially your children –may be hoping for a bunny.

Adopt a rabbit instead of buying. And before you do anything, read what the experts at 3 Bunnies Rabbit Rescue say you should consider before bringing home that bunny. – Global Animal
