Too many bunnies -- especially this time of year
Bunnies are so cute.
But around this time of year, our friends at all the rabbit rescues begin to brace for the annual onslaught of unwanted and abandoned bunnies after Easter.
Some pet shops sell the creatures for under $10 apiece, making them an easy impulse buy for families wanting to get something special for their kids.
But like with any animal, it's a commitment. Rabbits are great pets. But you need to do your homework before bringing one home.
Not sure it's the right pet for you?
Linda Baley of www.toomanybunnies.com suggests fostering a rabbit for the Easter holiday. Her group provides all you'll need, including food and a cage. If it doesn't work out, the bunny goes back to the rescue.

About the Bloggers
Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
