Q: I’ve fallen in love with my friend’s rabbit, and I want one of my own. I wonder if the rabbit is lonely when my friend is at work and whether I should acquire two instead of one. Also, do shelters have rabbits, or should I go to the pet store?
A: Rabbits are the third most commonly surrendered species at animal shelters. Adopting a rabbit from an animal shelter or rescue organization provides many benefits.
