5 Reasons Bunnies are Great Pets!

I might have an obsession.... I got a pet bunny from the county fair last Summer. His name is Yoshi (after the Mario character), and he's a tiny brown and white dutch bunny. I love him so much! I spoil him, too, he gets cuddled every night before bed, and I hang out with him for the majority of the time that I'm in my bedroom. I also go outside in the middle of winter in order to pick clovers for him to eat. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm obsessed. Anyway, because I love my bunny so much, I've made the top 5 reasons why bunnies are great pets (in no particular order). Keep in mind, though, bunnies aren't meant for everyone, they require lots of commitment and care, and can live up to 12 years.

#5: They Are Loving.

most bunnies are very friendly and love to be petted. They will hang out with you on a bed or couch, and sometimes even nudge you with their heads as a way of saying "Hey! Don't forget to pet me!" They don't like being held, but petting and cuddling the is so wonderful, and a great way to relieve stress after a rough day.

#4: They Are Super Cute.

Bunnies are pretty much synonymous with cuteness. They come in so many different colors and size, with floppy ears or straight ears, to suit any taste in cuteness. They all have big round eyes, twitchy noses, and fluffy tails. They even have a little hopping dance they do called binkying when they're happy! I just can't handle all of this cuteness!

#3: They're Really Playful.

Bunnies love to hop around and toss their toys. Watching your bunny hop around the house or backyard (with supervision, of course) is super entertaining. They run around as if they're in some sort of bunny race, or like they just drank a cup of coffee with tons of caffeine!

#2: They love treats and veggies!

Bunnies eat, a lot, and they look pretty freaking adorable while they do it. They'll eat cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, grass, clovers, strawberries, and even orange peels. You can give them treats and they'll reward you by adorably (is that even a word?) munching on them with their adorable faces! You can even take your bunny outside in a contained area (once again, with supervision) and they'll graze on clovers, dandelions, and grass, just like wild bunnies!

#1: They keep themselves clean.

Unlike many other small pets,  bunnies do not smell like poop (unless you don't clean their cage.) Bunnies groom themselves a lot, so they always look clean, and smell like fresh hay. They can even be taught to use a litter box, so they don't make a mess, making their cages super easy to clean. Bunnies are so clean, I don't even feel like I need to wash my hands after petting mine.

Thanks for reading! Since I've noticed I've been getting so many views, I'll try to post more often, with pictures of my 2 newest pets, Misty the cockatiel, and Yoshi the bunny! Bye and thanks for your support!
