I would reply and explain that while it is good that they are looking to educate people, one of the main problems is that people often do not understand that rabbits need company, and that you feel it would be beneficial for owners to understand the importance of having two neutered rabbits living together.

hi - I've seen this same rabbit and been concerned as well for the reasons you describe. I'm really glad that people are investigating this - if you want someone else to get involved as well drop me a PM but I won't fire off any emails since I've seen someone else is looking into it!!

We asked this question in a Lancashire Pets at Home store about did the large giant bunnies get any excercise and we were told they run round the store when it's shut supervised Hmmm

This one is a permanent 'store rabbit' Maysie Sad she lives alone in one of those glass tanks, although as Sue says it's a big one, but she is under those awful lights they have in there

This was in the store I'm talking about she had babies in with her and they said she had jumped out of her pen into the male bunnies and got herself pregnant but the funny thing was they were big babies as if Daddy was the same breed as Mummy, she was also in a huge glass fronted case and people with dogs were looking at her and you could see she was scared and kids were knocking on the glass.

That certain PAH store must have been so glad when Mike and I moved to North Yorkshire as we were always complaining Laughing

Personally I don't think dogs should be allowed in the stores as we have seen lads with big dogs laughing as their dogs try to get the rabbits, it's not funny Sad

I find it really strange they allow dogs too with all the small furries, a lot of dogs haven't been socialised with small furries which is fair enough if the owners don't have them, but not so far in a shop like that.

I agree with the dogs thing, Humum has been in there when there has been a horrible yappy little mutt and all the small furries are horribly distressed (as was Humum, she hates shrill yappy dogs, and hates the owners that let them stand there and do it even more Mad )

I don't really understand why they let dogs into the small furry areas.
