Make Mine Lavender...or Chocolate!


You may not know that many of the cute baby bunnies purchased at this time of year as Easter gifts for children, from pet shops and breeders, sadly find themselves unwanted and in rescue shelters, a few weeks or months after the novelty of looking after a real live bunny rabbit has worn off.

It’s a misconception that rabbits make good pets for children and here are just a few reasons why:

-They need specialist care, patience and very gentle treatment, due to their sensitive digestive systems and very fragile skeletons.

-As prey animals, their natural instinct is to hide from noise and things they might perceive as predators…lunging hands, sudden movement, high pitched and loud noises.

-Bunnies can live for up to 10 years or more, IF correctly cared for.

-They are not suited to living in a hutch in the garden without another companion bunny as they live in colonies in the wild and will suffer from boredom and loneliness. If you get two, there’s twice the problem, if re-homing is required.


Bunnies are wonderful pets for caring, gentle grown-ups with enough spare time, money and understanding of a rabbit's needs, to keep them happy and healthy. Bunnies should ideally live indoors with you, as a house-bunny to ensure sufficient mental stimulation and companianship.

Keep the children in your life happy this Easter with a cute lavender bunny from Hepplewhite’s Emporium and we will donate 25% of the value of your order to Helicopter Ears Rescue, Bedfordshire’s premier bunny and small pet rescue charity.
