Now Pancake day is over, the next big holiday is Easter! You may have noticed that in the weeks leading up to Easter, pet shops stop selling Rabbits. Today, we are going to share with you where they go and why they stop selling them!
Why Do Pet Shops Stop Selling Rabbits At Easter?
In simple, during the weeks leading up to Easter pet shops stop selling rabbits for one main reason… The Easter Bunny. Due to the legend of the Easter Bunny coming and leaving you Easter eggs or an egg hunt, pet shops have taken it upon themselves to stop the sale of rabbits around this time. The number of sales coming up to Easter increased. But sadly, the amount of returned rabbits after Easter also increased. People purchasing rabbits for the Easter bunny trick did not do their research. They did not understand the amount of care that goes into having a rabbit as a pet. Or they went in with the mindest of returning once Easter was over. As this is not a good life for the rabbits, pet shops decided to stop selling rabbits over this period. Some will still have them on display, but others take them away completely to ensure people are not tempted to share that they are the Easter bunny.
Where Do The Rabbits Go?
If you are heading to a pet shop at Easter that does not even display their rabbits during this time, you will probably be wondering where they go? You don’t need to worry as they are still being cared for. Some rabbits will go to their backstock rooms until easter is over, where they will be fed and cleaned. Some may even be taken home with workers to ensure they are not seen or purchased.
