Bunnies: Adorable, But Not Easy Pets
Every year, well-meaning families buy bunnies as Easter pets, only to realize months later that they require a lot of care. Unlike the stuffed versions in Easter baskets, real rabbits don’t love being picked up, need a special diet heavy on hay (which they will kick everywhere), and require plenty of space to hop around—no cages!
If you're serious about adopting, make sure you have a vet who knows their way around a rabbit’s delicate system. Some of Florida’s top rabbit-savvy veterinarians include:
- Dr. Michelle Ferrera – Turkey Creek Animal Hospital (Plant City) Best of Florida Winner!
- Dr. Melissa Webster – Tampa Veterinary Hospital (Tampa) Tampa’s oldest veterinary clinic!
- Dr. Molly Pearson – Micanopy Animal Hospital (Micanopy) Special interest in rabbits & exotics!
- Dr. Kirsten Love – Lantana-Atlantis Animal Hospital (Lantana) Certified in STEM cell therapy!
Thinking of bringing a bunny home? If you think they’re a fit for your lifestyle and environment, skip the pet store and adopt from a rescue like Orlando Rabbit Care & Adoptions or Southwest Florida House Rabbit Rescue—they’ll set you up for success!
Fun Bunny Facts
- They’re on your schedule – Rabbits are crepuscular, meaning they’re most active at dawn and dusk—perfect if you work a 9-to-5.
- They need a friend – Rabbits do best in pairs, but bonding them is a slow process. Introduce them too quickly, and things can get vicious (We’re serious).
- Spaying and neutering isn’t optional – Beyond preventing surprise litters in bonded pairs, it reduces cancer risk in females and aggressive behaviors in males.
- There are 52 ARBA-recognized rabbit breeds – Lionheads are the rockstars with their fluffy manes, while Flemish Giants can hit 20+ pounds—basically, the Great Danes of the bunny kingdom.
Whether you’re brunching with the Easter Bunny, adopting one (responsibly!), or just here for the fluffy fun, make this Easter one to remember.
