Having a child sit on the ground and hold and cuddle their pet rabbit is fun
to do but please supervise your child when he/she is handling the rabbit.
There are books you can read to your child or your child can read him/her
self. There is the TV series called Max and Ruby that is great for preschool
children. It's cute and fun to dress up a small child in a bunny outfit for
Halloween. Stuffed rabbit toys are great for a young child to cuddle rather
than having a live There are a lot of ways kids can enjoy pet rabbits.
Joining 4-H will give your child a chance to raise and show a rabbit. It is not
Remember you must supervise your child that is under age 12 that has a
pet rabbit. Be prepared as a parent to do the work to care for your pet
bunny if your child fails to care for their rabbit properly. Even teenage
children need to be checked on as they may tire of caring for their rabbit if
they are busy with other activities. Owning a pet rabbit can teach your child
to care for an animal which is a good life lesson in compassion and
responsibility.
Coloring pages, worksheets, and activities are fun for younger children that
are not quite ready to own a rabbit. Rabbits can squirm and scratch a child
or even nip if miss-handled. Interactive games and rabbit care videos are
available on the internet.. I believe a pet rabbit that is healthy and handled
from birth will make a good pet for a family to choose as a pet. You know
your child best and as a parent it is up to you whether or not you believe
your child is ready and able to have a pet rabbit.
