Rabbit advice please

ClareEmily

Suki until you have had a house rabbit you really shouldn't comment, so many outdoor bunnies are kept in a cage in the bottom of the garden and completely neglected.

"Houserabbits are here to stay. Thousands of British pet lovers share their homes with a houserabbit, and there's plenty of expertise available to help you get it right if you decide an indoor bunny is the pet for you.

Rabbits offer just as much companionship as more traditional house pets. Most people are surprised to discover how affectionate, intelligent and cute
houserabbits can be. Basking in front of the fire, snuggling up for cuddles, and begging for treats are all standard houserabbit repertoire! Plus, although they are not ultralow maintenance pets, houserabbits can fit well into the
lifestyle of a working person. From an animal welfare point of view, keeping rabbits indoors actually makes it easier to meet the fundamental needs of the species. Houserabbits display more natural behaviour patterns than hutch-kept rabbits and because they get plenty of exercise, rarely suffer from the skeletal problems seen in caged rabbits".

My house bunny has a whole (bunny proofed room to herself, and when we are home has the run of the rest of the house.

She is a very happy bunny, laying in the sun at the moment.

To the OP, if you have facebook, search for clare cartwright e-mail [EMAIL="clare.scotcher@hotmail.com"]clare.scotcher@hotmail.com[/EMAIL] (pic of me and my bunny) I have lots of experienced bunny owner friends and we have house bunny groups.

Our bunny has loads of timothy hay a day (this is a great boredom buster), she also has lots of willow toys, cardboard boxes, cardboard tunnel, wooden box with bunny sized holes, 4 material tunnels (which we put throughout the house), rattle balls and grass mats.

Thank Clare!
Thats brilliant! The large one is more of a house rabbit.. she gets her own room too! But the other two are in a large cage and get the run of the room when the large one is asleep etc they swap round n stuff.

I keep all the boxes from my deliveries etc sooo they have lots of boxes to play with and lots of hay to play in. Was just thinking of other fun things for them to do.. something different..

Maybe something big as its hunny and sunnys birthday on the 1st of april hehe x
