It's Easter and some parents are going to be giving their children rabbits as a gift. A chocolate rabbit is probably a better idea for a young child. A bunny may not be a good idea because bunnies are very sensitive creatures and they require a delicate touch says Veterinarian Debbye Turner in the CBS video clip below. Turner says bunny rabbits are not a great starter pet. She recommends that rabbits be kep as an indoor pet - they are very sensitive to weather conditions. Plus, it is much safer indoors. Turner lays out a rabbits dietary needs (timothy hay, leafy vegetables and plenty of water) in the clip. She also discusses some play toy ideas like a toilet paper roll.
