The choice is yours but there are two things to think about, if you're thinking of getting a bunny from a pet store:
- Good pet stores vs. bad pet stores
- Rabbit overpopulation
Bad pet stores get their rabbits from bad breeders, and they don't take care of their rabbits very well. Bad breeders are people who overcrowd their rabbits, breed their does (female rabbits) too often, and breed rabbits with bad genes -- all this leads to the rabbits suffering.
You should not get a rabbit from a bad pet store or breeder because the rabbit has a high chance of being sick or ill-tempered. Another reason not to get a rabbit from these places is that, by giving the store/breeder your business, you're encouraging to keep doing what they're doing.
Some people buy rabbits from bad stores/breeders because they're rescuing them from a bad life. This is a controversial activity because, even though you're helping that individual rabbit, you're giving the store/breeder a reason to stay in business: you're guaranteeing that the rabbit you saved will be replaced by another unlucky bunny.
If you buy a rabbit from a pet store, investigate the store and the breeder who supplies the store beforehand, examine the rabbit closely before you bring it home, and then bring the rabbit to a "rabbit-savvy" vet for a full exam.
Rabbit OverpopulationThere are needy rabbits in shelters and foster homes all over the place, although some regions have more overpopulation than others. Many shelters are not especially nice places, but even the best shelter is not a great place because of all the noise and Infectious Diseases, and the few chances to exercise, play, and socialize. Also, many shelters have time limitations on their pets, and healthy rabbits are killed every year becuase their time is up. Meanwhile, people keep dropping their pet rabbits off at shelters when they're tired of them, and breeders keep selling new ones, so the problem isn't getting any better.
When you adopt a rabbit from a rescue organization or shelter, you're not only helping that one rabbit: you're also making space for another needy bunny and, by keeping your money out of the breeding industry, you're not supporting the overpopulation problem.

∙ 15y agoNo, a pet shop is not the best place. So many rabbits are abandoned and unwanted. Make sure that you understand the care that will be needed for a rabbit before you decide to get one for a pet. You can go to an animal shelter in your area and find a perfect rabbit for you. They can help you select a healthy rabbit that will be the right size and temperament for you. That way you can adopt a rabbit that was given up by someone who could not care for the rabbit.
