Rabbits make wonderful pets, but they are a 10-year commitment. Like any other pet, they require attention.
Rabbits like to play with toys and hop around outside of their cages. Owners just need to make sure that the area the rabbit plays in is bunny-proofed. Basically, (owners) need to make sure there is nothing around for the rabbit to chew on.
Around Easter, rabbits are just thought about more. Most people just don't realize that rabbits are a 10-year commitment and require just about as much care as any other pet.
