The rabbits one sees in petshops around this time of year are small, soft, and cute, and they seemeasy enough to care for. What could go wrong? What's the harm ingetting one's son or daughter a bunny for Easter? The answer: much morethan you

they also can be very messy, as their bathroom habits don't work well inside a home

Someone I knew was holding a rabbit - he passed him over to me, and I got quite scratched.

They're quite cute, but I prefer seeing my plushies and the ones that live in my backyard.

Although I agree with your point,
Just a note. Not all rabbits are like that. My daughter had a rabbit that did like to be held. It was even litter trained, which was very easy to do. We ended up giving to a friend because we found out that the rabbit was playing heck with her allergies and causing some bad asthma attacks. I generally agree with the point of not getting a rabbit at this time of year. They are cute for Easter and then most of the kids lose interest in them. We waited until early summer when the local 4-H club had a rabbit sale. By that time the Easter cuteness had worn off and the prices were much better too.
