This past Friday Stephanie Castillo and I brought some adorable young Rabbit Advocates rescue bunnies onto KATU to talk about all things bunny and highlight the importance of spay and neuter.
Luma, Lira and Milo were did so well and were great bunbassadors for the handful of rescue bunnies out there who are waiting for fosters or are ready to be adopted by their forever families.
Two of these beautiful bunnies still need a foster; apply to foster for Rabbit Advocates (and see their currently adoptable bunnies) by visiting rabbitadvocates.org.

We filmed this segment over a year ago – on March 15th, 2024 – but the information is super relevant, especially in the weeks counting down to Easter, when so many people are becoming first time bunny guardians.
Some Key Points We Cover: • Many Easter bunnies are bought impulsively and later abandoned or “dumped” • Many rabbits live 10–12 years and they need specialized care (diet, grooming, indoor habitat and exotic vet care) • Consider gifting non-living alternatives (stuffed toys, chocolate bunnies) for Easter • Adopting from a rescue or shelter is recommended if you’re ready for the commitment
We also debunked the myth that rabbits should be fed carrots. Since carrots are high in sugar, it’s best to feed bunnies just the carrot tops, as an occasional treat. For extra fun, you can sit by your rabbit and nibble on the carrot while they nibble on the tops!

How do you let people know more about bunny care during Easter season? We’d love to hear your comments!
