Overview: Rabbits are popular pets because of how cute they are, along with the fact that they bond with their owners and can adjust to living in houses as well as apartments. Rabbits make ideal pets for those who are willing to put in the time and effort it takes to properly care for a rabbit. Many people believe rabbits are low maintenance animals, but the truth is far from that. In order to ensure a rabbit is getting the greatest possible quality of life, the owner must be willing to provide fresh food and water every day, wash salads of leafy vegetables, and search for a veterinarian skilled in rabbit medicine, which are often hard to find. With proper care, your rabbit can live to be older than 10 years old, which many people don't realize. Rabbits require daily monitoring and the same long-term commitment needed to own a dog or a cat.
