Why Rabbits?

I mean, you can get a perfectly normal dog, or cat, and not have to deal with these issues....

Bun Cons:

• They may chew things like cords, and when one plugs in said cord unknown of its chewed nature, one may get zapped....
• They are not always good around kids since kids tend to scare them or hurt them or cut their ears off with scissors...yes, Ive seen this happen
• They are alert at night. They are most active during the night, but sleep most of the day/night
• They shed twice a year, sometimes more
• They hop, not walk like cats or dogs
• Rabbit savvy vets are not always easy to find
• Their poop is round
• You need to cut their nails.
• They don't always like being picked up
• They are 'prey' animals therefore get scared a lot
• Alfalfa, bunny kibble and treats....foods a rabbit must always eat

Bun Pros:

• They are really REALLY cute
• They practically come litter trained (rabbits like to do their business in one soft fluffy place)
• They can be affectionate like a dog or cat but don't need to be walked to poop like a dog
• They are really smart (more than given credit for)
• They are clean pets (as long as you are a clean human who changes a litter box once every couple of days or so)
• They HOP!
• They don't meow or bark
• Their food does not smell
• They are really friendly
• Super playful!
• Their poop is vaccumable and does not smell!
• They are not the normal cat/dog and have amazing personalities
• They will lick you when they are happy to show affection
• They beg for treats like cereal and hop at the excitement that you are by the fridge and might have something tasty for them
• They happy hop aka binky (google if you would like to see video)
• Fluffy, cute and adorable, but you can say that about any pet
• They don't have stinky smelly tuna or meat breath
• You can be around them while you are pregnant (unlike a cat)
• There are many out there waiting for adoption
• They are curious, funny, have an amazing range of personalities and come in all sorts of breeds!
• You don't chose them, they chose you

I'm sure Im missing a tonne of pros, but then I will get more on the emotional side rather than the factual.
