dogs-on-logs:

They also require a suitable cage, not the tiny little $50 ones you see in the pet store (x)

They require enrichment – tunnels, toys, games, your time (x)

They require healthy varied food, not just pellets and carrots (x)

As they get older, they may require age related medication eg. arthritis and 

glucosamine supplements

You may live in an area where your rabbit needs to be vaccinated against disease-releases for pest control eg. RHDV in Australia or they will die painfully over 3-5 days

If any of this has you hesitating, that is okay. It is not a race to get a rabbit as fast as you can. Read up on rabbit care and think about if you are able to commit to a 10 year + friend and their care, or if it is better for you to wait and research more, or a different kind of pet is more suitable.

(however, if you’re prepared and ready to try your best, rabbits are pretty neat and fun pets)
