Thinking of getting the kids Rabbits
Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2018 9:01 am
My kids (5 and 7) are wanting a pet.
I had to put the dog down in the summer and he was a great dog for them. They still tell me that they miss him...and we relocated the goats to my brothers. They want a dog but I don't want the expense at the moment, nor the time commitment a new dog/puppy requires.
I am thinking that maybe I would build them a large raised outdoor rabbit hutch in the spring. Perhaps the local 4H club has a Rabbit project that they could join.
Would a few Rex Rabbits be suitable as a pet for them?
Friendly enough to be handled but independent enough to go without attention?
I don't think that the children will be able/capable of going out to them each day and I suspect the majority of the chores will be mine.
Let me know what you think!
