I always feel being a wild rabbit has to be super stressful. You're constantly on the look out for predators, you're built for short bursts of speed so some predators will just tire you out if you can't find cover, you will be lucky to live beyond the age of about 2, the females spend that short brutal life having to raise endless litters of babies because they can get pregnant pretty much straight away after giving birth...

But domestic rabbits, if owned by someone who knows what they're doing (sadly not always the case) have got THE best life. I've owned a couple of house rabbits in my life and they so sweet, but can be a bit funny about "their" territory. Anyway, you can litter train them and they'll even learn the sound of their name and come to you when called. They're really snuggly so long as you do it on their terms (stay on the floor or sofa, don't pick them up - let them come to you) and really much more interesting pets than people give them credit for. Sadly their completely wrong reputation as "easy" starter pets means they're also one of the most abused or neglected domestic animals on the planet. Then we're back to being a rabbit must be stressful.

Agreeing with everything in this, except I have found in my experience that reptiles and fish are often abused or neglected more. Most people will acknowledge that a rabbit is capable of suffering, but even a lot of animal enthusiasts don't think the same of reptiles or fish, and they're often considered "starter" animals, too. Reptiles, fish, and rabbits also have the same tendency to not show suffering in a way that we readily understand unless we're knowledgeable and actively looking for signs.

All animals are capable of suffering, and none should be taken as pets, given as pets, or treated lightly. The idea of a "starter pet" is somewhat abhorrent to me because it's often used to justify such neglect. It's never okay, no matter the kind of animal.

Yeah I don’t agree with the idea of starter pets either but unfortunately that’s what a lot of people say, including unscrupulous breeders trying to make a quick buck. There’s this idea only cats dnd dogs are difficult, and something smaller/caged is better for kids, which is just…not true. Try finding a vet in a small town who actually knows what to do with rabbits or reptiles for example.

Yep. This is also true for birds. Avian vets are rare and expensive.
