Its worth checking out on the blog - Humberside RSPCA burn "illegal" rabbit hutches!.

Bunnies need to be able to do bunny things, nibble grass, dig holes, hop about...and do those impressive bunny flips where they leap and buck at the same time. ____________ Jules and the Ark Posted: Wed Apr 25, 2007 5:52 pm Lyn Puppy Joined: Apr 25, 2007 Posts: 13 Age: 33 No.Of Pets: 7 Pet Types: Cats, Rabbits and guinea pigs Karma: 0 Thank Medals: None 93 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: I agree I hate seeing them just sitting there in a hutch all day.

However when the weather is awful and he cant go outside he has to run round the house otherwise he stomps his feet and headbutts the hutch all day.So i agree that the bigger the cage the better. ____________ Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2007 1:30 pm GerbilPunk TopDog Joined: Jun 01, 2007 Posts: 1047 Age: 13 No.Of Pets: 2 Pet Types: a gerbil and a rabbit Karma: 5 Thank Location: Dartford Medals: None 2852 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: bunny??? very... uh... unique ____________ Only this crazy guy can understand the true joys in playing with washing...
