Five 1/2 years ago a friend took me to Petcetera in Kamloops to buy me a rabbit for my birthday. We viewed many and my heart was set on a female dwarf bunny...or so I was told. We purchased "her" for $29.95. As a little time went on I gave "her" her first bath only to find she was a he! This can be a big deal to some as males have a tendancy to spray and be somewhat more aggressive than females. I contacted Petcetera about this mix-up and they simply told me that it is hard to tell. I had already grown to love him (Taz), so I let it go. Although, as time passed on Taz, this supposed dwarf bunny kept growing! He is 6 yrs now and the size of a large house cat. He is very loved, has never had a cage, litter trained and enjoys running a muck outside,as well as inside. I am very happy he is a part of my life but what would've happened to him had he gone to another home with someone who wanted a female dwarf and nothing else? Petcetera should not be telling their customers only what they want to hear in order to make a sale, these animals lives and welfare are at stake.
