Rabbits can make really great pets but they're not "common sense" pets: you have to spend time learning about their care and behaviour, setting up an appropriate habitat, and finding nearby vets who treat rabbits (many vets don't; and some who do really shouldn't because they don't know enough about rabbits to treat them safely).
