Pets at Home will not sell any rabbits or other pets this Easter in case they end up ‘in the wrong home’ after an impulse buy.

The national pet shop chain says ‘pester power’ can lead to families heading to the store to buy a bunny over the Easter break.

And to avoid this, the shop will not sell any pets during the Bank Holiday period and will instead offer pet vouchers.

These can be redeemed after the Easter break, or refunded if customers change their minds.
