Bunnies a Hoppin'

About this time of the year, animal shelters are coping with the influx of kittens born in the spring. Added to that, the shelters have to deal with lots of unwanted bunnies, because thoughtless people buy them for their children for Easter only to find bunnies aren't good with the tots or are just too much to handle. They're not as cuddly as they thought.

Until I read an article in the newspaper last week, I had no idea what the care of bunnies required. It's almost as much as what we do for our cats. What's essential, though, is to have the bunny spayed or neutered as with cats and dogs.

So, if you know you can handle the responsibilities of caring for a bunny companion, head on over to your nearest shelter and check out the bunnies. But first, read this article from the Humane Society to start and then find out more online or at your library before you even step foot in the nearest shelter.
