Rabbits: Friendly, intelligent and clean, Rabbits make great family pets. With space to exercise, suitable accommodation, food and bedding most Rabbits are happy living indoors or outside. However, you will need to devote some time every day to their care. Rabbits generally need more attention than most smaller pets and can occasionally scratch and bite. For this reason they are considered unsuitable pets for younger children. However they make ideal pets for older children under supervision of an adult.
