Bunnies 'top of the hops' if you're prepared, says charity

With the countdown to Easter now firmly on, an Island animal charity is warning people not to get bunnies on impulse.

The Manx SPCA says people think rabbits are low-maintenance pets, but they need as much care, space, and attention as cats or dogs.

In a Facebook post, it says it has a number of rabbits ready to find new homes, but people should be aware of the commitment they need.

And it adds they make wonderful companions if you're fully prepared.
