Before Adopting

Rabbits are wonderful companions, but they’re not for everyone. If you’ve never had a rabbit before, we encourage you to spend time on the websites below, learning more about them and whether they would be a good fit for you, your family, and your lifestyle.

Rabbits are social creatures and housing them outside where they are exposed to predators is not in their best interest. It’s lonely out there too!

Before Adopting

We also recommend fostering a rabbit first so you can experience what it’s like caring for one before you make a lifetime, 10-year commitment to adopt.

• Do your homework rabbit.org/faq.
• when you’re ready for an 8-12 year commitment, adopt from a local rescue/shelter.
