Today, I finally decided to get my five-year-old son a rabbit, so I explained to him how to take care of it. When I'd finished listing all the things he'd have to do, he replied, "That's too complicated... Couldn't we just eat it instead?" FML

At least you know he'll do well in survival situations. Next thing you know, he'll be testing out recipes with the neighbor's hamster, and the snake he found in the backyard.

As an owner of two bunnies, I can tell you that they're high maintenance. Definitely not a good pet for a young child.

Hahaha. you have to admit, at least he was honest about not being capable of taking care of it.

Maybe he has a friend with a rabbit (s) that they raise for food and understand are for that purpose. It is common around here. Also fail on your part for getting him a pet he hasn't begged you for, chances are he hasn't got much interest in it, so enjoy YOUR new rabbit OP!

I used to beg my parents for a dinosaur, but they were cruel and didn't deliver. I would have loved him and petted him and named him Rex!

13 - You don't know Ops kid didn't beg for one before knowing how much work they were. Maybe that's why they "finally decided" to get one?

Atleast you know your son won't be a pansy when he grows up.

It's a good way to get eaten by a rabbit, for one...

easy way to stop this look at him and say sure but you have to gut him bye yourself

Next thing you know, he's outside gutting random animals to eat. "My pet rabbit sure tastes good.. I wonder what the neighbors pet dog tastes like"

I had a rabbit for a minute when I was younger. My parents took it away when I wanted to name it 'Stu'

Hence why you have the conversation before you buy the animals.

I was thinking the same thing. I got my son a betta fish since we wanted one. I helped him research their care and now he helps me clean the tank and feeds the betta.

#30, you are correct. Squirrel is indeed delicious! Growing up on a farm though, mostly everything is food :)
