They may be cute, but veterinarians are warning parents this Easter to avoid buying live bunny rabbits as presents for kids.–
“It’s very similar to getting goldfish at the fair, seems like a good idea at the time,” Broadhurst said. “But when you get home, then you’re like, now what?” “They’re actually fairly prone to breakage,” Broadhurst said. “Their back legs are so strong, that if you’re holding them improperly when they kick hard, they can actually break their spines. So, it is not for little kids to have and cuddle and have run around.”Broadhurst says another concern with rabbits and kids can be their sharp teeth. Not to mention, having more than one, quickly leads to more. Rabbits reproduce considerably faster than other pets.
But it’s not just rabbits. Baby chicks have also been given as Easter gifts. Broadhurst wants to remind people, depending on where you live, there are ordinances in place for when they grow up. So, you need to do your research.
