A local petshop has a few buns for adoption and I am planning to get one this spring. They are free to good home and there is this one there that I am in love with. She is a orangy-brown dwarf mix. She has been in the store for about four months and she just can't seem to keep a home. The employee I spoke to about her said that she was surrendered a few months ago, has had several litters, and is a total and complete witch. Of course those were not her exact words, she tried to sugar coat the situation, but the fact is that she bites, kicks, and has a serious attitude. I feel just aweful for her, it is not her fault she is this way, she was not born like this, someone didn't take care of her. The employee said that she will most likely be going to a shelter, be euthanized, or spend the rest of her life in the store, as she has been adopted several times and keeps being returned for being aggressive.
I can just see her in a nice, comfy, and big CC cage in my room. I think if I found a good spot for her, my dad would be okay with her staying inside. I know that I probably wouldn't be able to hold her and cuddle her, but that is alright she still deserves a good home where she is loved.
This is where my question comes in. Seeing as I have never owned a rabbit before, I don't have a clue as to whether this is a good idea. I don't know if I could handle her, but I do know that if I adopted her I would never take her back to the store. So do you guys think I could tame the beast and this would all work out, or should I wait a get another rabbit up for adoption in the store. Of course I couldn't bring Buttercup, thats her name, home until spring, but if she hasn't been adopted yet I'm almost postive she will still be there when I'm ready. Thanks, I know this was long, but I really don't want to rush into anything.
