Q:
Hello, is it allowed to raise a rabbit in a house? And could one be raising the rabbit for healing and occupation for a 6-year-old who has an emotional problem and dealing with the rabbit can help him.
answer:
It is permissible to raise rabbits in the house as well as other animals even if its ‘tamah’ for the purpose of “therapy” – healing and occupation, and there is no fear of halacha, only that their eating times must be strictly observed and that they will not be abused at all.
