Why Rabbits are Good Pets

In this post I am going to talk to you about the positives and negatives about why rabbits are good pets.

Positive factors:

• They are good for people who want a small friendly pet.
• They are quiet and ideal for condo's or apartments (make sure you are fully committed to looking after them though.
• On average they live 4-7 years yet it will depend on how well you care for them as some can live for up to 18 years.
• They don't bark, the only noise they make is a high pitched squeal when they are frightened or hurt.
• They usually don't mind being petted or groomed.
• They will take food out of your hand, especially as you bond and become closer to them.
• They can be a full indoor pet as long as their cage is large enough. 
• You can take them outdoors and but them a leash to do so.
• They each have their own personality.
• They sleep with their eyes open sometimes.
• They are strong creatures.
• You can train them.

Negative factors:

• They may hurt themselves chewing a wire or your furniture if thy are indoors, due to the fact they like to nibble things.
• They enjoy to dig.
• Like all pets they may bite you.
• They need to keep their claws clipped.
• They need to be brushed regularly.
• They can hurt you if they are on your lap and jump off and kick you.
• They can sometimes have aggressive behaviour.

Personally, I find rabbits are good pets and would recommend you to have one if you are able to and have the space too keep them. Make sure you but them a good sized hutch and to keep them with lots of toys to play with. 

I hope you now understand why rabbits are good pets.
