Hi Hive account@keyralles, I have kept rabbits in the past. They are happiest when you can give them free range in your house, yard or a large pen. And they require plenty of love, attention and play time from their owner, if you keep one. If you keep two, they can bond together and keep each other company. It's a big commitment and you really need to do reading up about what it requires. I know, just look at all those bunnies! They're so adorable, it's easy to just buy a rabbit on impulse, but it's important to resist that and do it properly. For your sake, and for the health and happiness of the rabbit.

You say you have a cat and a dog? Depending on their temperament, a cat and a dog will chase a rabbit that's brought into their home. Cats and dogs are predatory by nature and rabbits are prey animals, so this is just the natural expression of instinct. Unfortunately, what this means is that your new rabbit will be very stressed and could likely die from shock. Even if your cat and dog don't chase them, just the fact that they're present might be too much for a rabbit to bear.

There are people that have cats, dogs and rabbits living together, but usually this requires that they all have grown together as babies... this seems to circumvent the natural ecosystem roles that each species inhabits and they live together harmoniously.

There's more to meeting a rabbit than we often realise... they tend to be the most misunderstood pet animal by people. They're not like a hamster where you can keep it in a small cage, take it out for maybe 30 minutes a day and then put it back in the cage and not worry about them.

I'm so glad you decided to ask questions first! You are a hero! ❤️❤️🙏🙏
