Amy Sedaris loves house bunnies, and Bostonist readers should too. Rabbits have boundless energy and tons of enthuaism. There is probably a cute, fun-loving bunny waiting, it the Boston metro area, to rock the world of every Bostonist, right now.
February is Adopt A Rescued Rabbit Month. For a number of reasons, many bunnies end up in shelters, especially in spring. But, they take about as much work as a puppy to start, and usually live about ten years. Children may lose interest in the family pet, leaving the burden of care upon the grown ups. Lagomorphs are social animals, and want to hang out with other household members for at least an hour a day.
For more information about bunnies as pets, visit the House Rabbit Society. Want to talk to some enthusiastic bunny owners to decide if this might be the right pet? Contact the House Rabbit Network or the House Rabbit Connection, both organizations focused in rescuing Massachusetts bunnies. Want to meet some bunnies in person? Consider visiting the MSPCA in Jamaica Plain, or any other local shelter. Browse bunnies up for adoption at Petfinder. Or, read The Rabbit Advocate, a blog by MSPCA behaviorist Mary Lempert dedicated to the trials and tribulations of life with a lagomorph.
Also, having a bunny will almost surely score readers a date with certain Bostonist illustrators.
