In addition to being kept as pets , in many places, rabbits are kept for their meat and fur. However the price of rabbits varies greatly.
In Mumbai a shop was selling a rabbit for Rs 200
However in goa, a pet shop said that the rabbit would cost Rs 800 each
In panaji, the prices of many pets are higher than in other places, however pet buyers are forced to purchase the pets locally as transporting by air is not feasible for larger pets like cats, dogs, birds
Additionally in some areas of panaji, criminal trespassing by government employees and other stray animals like cats , rats is a major problem, so keeping an expensive pet in a home, which is empty for longer periods, can be a major problem.
