Rabbits And Kids

Rabbits are very fragile and at the best of times don't like to be picked up but rather prefer to be petted on the ground.

However, young kids love to pick up bunnies and this is very risky due to the bunnies backs being very fragile. If I rabbit kicks in the air whilst being picked up there is a chance that it could cause damage to the bunnies spine, leaving him/her paralyzed for life, with this, we suggest that bunnies are not given to kids as pets.

Rabbits also don’t always come when they are called and most bunnies don't want to be cuddled. This could provoke the wrong type of behavior such as a child trying to hold a rabbit down,chasing the rabbit or cause a child to lose interest in their pet, leaving it lonely, and stuck in a cage for the rest of its life. 

If adult is going to be the primary owner of the bunny, then it is suggested young kids only interact with the bunny under supervision.

Rabbits have amazing personalities, but will only reward you with affection on their terms (much like a cat). This is worth the patience and effort.
