what makes a rabbit a good pet?

They are clean, easily tamed, nice and cuddly for children, they don;t bite, they are easy to keep.

You must get your rabbit used to being handled from the time it leaves its mother. Do NOT pick it up by the ears, the correct way is to grab the large flap of skin on the back of the neck, and lifet the rabbit up. If you supprt its body inder its hindquarters, it won't struggle.

Rabbits that grow used to being handled will allow themselves to be handled and stroked by children, but make sure theyu are genltle.

If your rabbit is housed outside, make sure you cover the front of the hutch with a thick cloth at night - a dog or fox can scare your rabbit to death without touching it, so this is important.

Try and make a run for your rabbit in the garden for exercise, but if that's not possible, get a harness and lead and 'walk' it in the garden.

Hope this helps.

and they make a nice stew when they die.

They also make very good indoor pets and can be trained to use a litter tray. The only problem is they can be inquisitive and try to chew wires so make sure they can't get to any if you do have it indoors.
