Summarize the following:
As compared to a pet store, the staff at an animal shelter or pet rescue tend to have deeper knowledge of rabbit care. Also, the rabbits often receive better care and socialization at shelters and rescues.  By adopting from a shelter or rescue, you’ll also be providing a good home to a rabbit that needs one, rather than encouraging the breeding of additional rabbits to fill the cages at a pet store. Because the staff members at a shelter or rescue tend to be knowledgeable and eager to help, you can ask plenty of questions about the background and care needs of particular rabbits before making a decision. Rabbits at shelters or rescues might cost a little more initially, but they’re usually already de-sexed, vaccinated, de-wormed, and microchipped, which can save you money in the long run. Pet store rabbits usually come from mass-breeding operations, which tend to put profit over the health or happiness of the rabbits. Buying from pet stores only further encourages this practice.  Pet store rabbits are often more prone to digestive issues, due to being fed an inadequate diet and being exposed to excessive stress. If you do go to a pet store, ask lots of questions about where the rabbits come from and the type of care they have received. If the staff can’t or won’t provide you with satisfactory answers, go elsewhere. Not all breeders provide the same level of care or have the same degree of knowledge about the rabbits they raise. If you want to buy from a breeder, take the time to find one who is knowledgeable about rabbits and provides proper care for them.  Talk to friends with rabbits and local veterinarians to get recommendations on reputable breeders in your area. Always visit the breeding facility before buying. Look around and make sure it is clean and that the rabbits look well-fed and cared for. Ask the breeder or rescue staff lots of questions about the care they provide for their rabbits, and about the background of any particular rabbits you’re interested in. A reputable seller should always be happy to answer your questions.  For instance: “What do you feed your rabbits?”; “Do they receive regular veterinary care?”; “What can you tell me about this rabbit’s parentage?”; “Has this rabbit had any illnesses, and if so, how were they treated?” Ask for references if you want to buy from a breeder and contact some of these clients to see if they’re satisfied. A quality breeder should be willing to offer a written health guarantee, which gives you the right to return the rabbit within a certain period if a health issue arises.

Summary:
Adopt a rabbit from an animal shelter or rescue organization when at all possible. Avoid buying rabbits from pet stores. Buy from a breeder only if they are well-regarded and experienced. Ask questions and get answers about rabbit care from the breeder or rescue.
