Easter bunnies are everywhere in the run-up to next weekend's celebrations. But pet lovers wanting to buy or adopt their own Easter bunny are out of luck at Britain's biggest pet store chain.
To make sure of the animals' welfare, Pets at Home is halting sales and adoptions of rabbits at all its 457 stores nationwide over the Easter weekend. Demand for rabbits traditionally goes up over Easter but Pets at Home wants to make sure none are rehomed on a whim as a seasonal impulse purchase.
The halt on sales will run over the whole Easter weekend - April 7-10. But families can get to know rabbits and other small animals better in a series of free 30-minute My Pet Pals workshops.
