Re: Rabbit Accommodation.

Great post Crofty.

Cant rep you, i have to spread it around a bit first. Plus ive run out.

So many behavioural issues can be prevented by supplying a rabbit with the appropriate housing. When we take an animal into our care, it should first and foremost be a pet, and its our responsibility to proved the correct housing to ensure the animal is physically and mentally stimulated.

So many commercial hutches and runs dont allow buns to exhibit natural behaviours, and under the Animal Welfare act, that is illegal. The sooner companies stop making such cruel wooden boxes the better. Id like to see pet shops selling nothing smaller than 6ft for ALL breeds.

I have also found that many people get the tiered hutches, then think they dont have to supply a seperate run.
