Pet rabbits make excellent companions or additions to a family. Rabbits are very intelligent, friendly, playful and gentle, and will give you lots of fun and cuddles in return for the time and care you give them.
Pet rabbits don’t cost much to keep, but rabbits (as with any pet) do need a reasonable amount of your time. If left on their own for long periods of time they will get lonely, but their natural sleeping patterns fit in well with the average working day. Rabbits naturally sleep during the night and day, and are awake at dawn and dusk. This makes rabbits, particularly house rabbits, ideal pets for someone who works or is not in the house during the day, as the rabbit will happily just sleep all day, and wake up when you come home from work in the evening.
House rabbits are easier to spend time with because they are already in the house with you, and will be happy to see you every time you pass. If you have an outdoor pet rabbit, make sure you go and spend time with it regularly.
