The perfect bunny

All bunnies are cute and cuddly but which one would live happily and healthy in your home. The right bunny might be right in front of you and you wouldn't now it. Here are some tips to find the perfect bunny.

~Look in the bunny eyes 

bright sparkling eyes = healthy happy bunny

Dull eyes with mucus or anything else = tired or unhealthy bunny (ignore these bunnies)

Look for clean ears that are also velvety

It should be thick and clean 

If they are not clean and thick they may have a skin infection

they should be compacted and dry

wet and loose = diarrhea 

(which is a dangerous condition)

if not and ignores you = unhealthy

Take to vet for a health exam 

Warning

Bunnies can have rabies so take to the local vet immediately
