The Benefits of Keeping a Pet Rabbit
Pet rabbits — dwarves, lops, Dutch and more, under 2.5 kg, living 7–10 years — are gentle, nearly odorless, quiet, and smart enough to learn their name and litter habits, making calm nocturnal companions.

Bonding takes effort, but the reward is years of quiet company.
