Rabbits and Easter: make yours chocolate!

Everyone knows that rabbits are a symbol of the Easter holiday. But each year after Easter, the OHS is flooded with unwanted bunnies and rabbits, given as gifts for the holiday. The new owners have realized that rabbits are lots of work and quickly tire of them.

While rabbits do make wonderful pets, you need to be prepared to have one in your home.

And if you really want a rabbit for Easter, make sure it’s a stuffed one — or chocolate. Yum!
