More Info

Raising awareness about the 33,000 unwanted rabbits across UK rescues, the film reveals how ‘appearance can fool the eye’. In fact, because of their sweet fluffy look, baby bunnies have always been an impulse buy for many families with young children. Wrapped up with a red ribbon around their neck, baby bunnies are often given as Easter presents to please kids.
Truth comes hitting rabbit owners when they soon realize that these cute animals may turn into biting, moody, ‘hormonal teenagers’.
