WHAT IS A HOUSE RABBIT?
What are Rabbits Like?
Are rabbits soft and fuzzy? Most definitely. Are rabbits as cuddly as they look? Not necessarily. Is a rabbit more like a cat or a dog? Neither. A rabbit is like a rabbit.
Why Keep a Rabbit Indoors?
The House Rabbit Society recommends your companion rabbit be housed indoors. A hutch rabbit cannot possibly receive as much attention as a rabbit within the home. After all, how much time do you intend to spend in the yard? Personalities emerge when your rabbit gets to know you. Their potential is realized when you enjoy each others' companionship.
How are Rabbits Different from Cats & Dogs?
Rabbits, unlike dogs & cats, are prey animals. Dogs & cats are descended from predators. This difference is important in understanding your rabbit's behavior. Our familiar expectations & experiences with those animals do not always carry over when you have a rabbit living with you. These differences can work to your advantage when you share your house with a rabbit. Find out how here.
