Worried about getting a rabbit

[keeki]

well...this question might sound REALLY silly...but would me getting a rabbit be sinful in a way? You might be thinking "well DUHH no...why in any circumstance would getting a rabbit be sinning?" which seems you know...like the obvious answer...but like...you see~ I -really really- want a rabbit....and I'm afraid that I might be putting that before God...or maybe after i get it I'll be putting it before God, which isn't good....it's kind of like...finding happiness in worldly things, in a way. And also...I'm kind of a possesive person, so I might be all possessive with it after I do get one...which again, isn't good either. Plus...would getting a rabbit be a greedy thing to do?
And like...I'm afraid that I'll treat it like a toy or something if I do get it...not like a real living creature it is...
sorry if this question sounds really dumb~

A rabbit is not a worldly posession... this is a creature of creation. The relationship between ourselves and animals and the responsibility and love we need to develop in us to earn their trust, and the appreciation of their natural beauty as they move and twitch their whiskers and lick their paw to clean their ears, is something that brings us closer to God not further away.

Hope that helps.

If you're that worried about it, I'd wait.

If you want a rabbit - go for it. Just keep in mind that they require ALOT of attention to tame them.

Good luck whatever you decide.

If you really want one then get one!​

I have two called Oreo (black with a white stripe around his middle)​

and Jaffa (spotty, yay!). They are soooooo cute and I've had them since they were born. If you dont get one I'll cry, the more people that have them the happier the world will be!!!​

Rabbits are completely awesome! I have two of them. They don't make noise or smell. They also stay cute! Mine use the litter box. I keep both of them in a cage in my living room so they get lots of attention. I suggest getting a rabbit from a rescue, that way it will most likely be fixed. Read up on rabbits. They are great pets, but not hardy like cats and dogs.

I have 2 rabbits and I think it's not a sin at all to have one but i must warn you that they are very hard to take care of, they need a lot of attention. I would also advise making sure it has enough room. My rabbits have pens outside. In my opinion it is a sin to coop it up in a wire cage and abandon it.

I use to have a lop-eared bunny.
I was told they were more social than other rabbits.
He did not like it when I went to work all day.
He would tear up his whole cage every day.

I can just picture a rabbit tearing up the cage waiting for you to come home. (GIVE ME SOME ATTENTION!!!). Very funny.

I went to a pet show and they had rabbits there. That made me want to buy one straight away and take it home.
Pets can be great companions. Having one can teach you responsibility.

I am the proud owner of a Rabbit named Socks. Socks has been with us almost two years and as long as Peek A Choo my dog isnt around Socks will cuddle and snuggle on my lap no problem, if Peek comes around he is all too anxious to get back in his cage.

Socks is a real trip in a half when it comes to rattling a bag he goes ape in his cage and can barely wait to have that feeding dish refilled. He loves alfalfa sprouts and we have a salad once a week together. Well not literally I eat mine from my dish and he eats his .
