Yes, I own a rabbit. He is 8 years old...and still going strong! rabbits are wonderful pets. My rabbit has brought me much joy. They are very gentle...depending on what kind you get. Baby is a French Angora and is very calm. If it is small, that's the best time to get one, you can get used to it (and vice-versa) and gives it a chance to get used to other animals. I say.....go for it!
