A Hutch Is Not Enough...how about this. May be upsetting.

We are looking for Rory's companion. I've mentioned how the rabbits are kept. These
are baby bunnies. Cute. Well-fed. But this is how they are kept between feedings.

I want to take them all. These are Nethies.

This is horrific .

That looks more like a farm to me, I would stay clear of anywhere that has this method.

oh my that is awful

It is!!! And where is the hay? And the water?

Disgusting.

That makes me feel sick

Me too.

Their little faces

And why are they not jumping out? If was to put Molly or Junior in something like that (even when they were the same size as the ones in the pic) they would hop right out.

Have these buns been so deprived of movement that they don't even realise they CAN hop out?!

Is there something preventing them from hopping out?

It's... I can't even think of a word.

I think they don't have enough room to hop out and that wire bottom of the cages would make it painful. I too wondered if they had been so restricted of movement that they don't know they could. Then they may be afraid too. I know Rory's back legs were bent from being restricted. Luckily, they straightened right out after he was given free range for several months

The lack of water really upsets me because it gets so frightfully hot here. These little guys look old enough to start eating their hay.

This s disgusting, where was it love? I noticethe they are standing on wire as opposed to a solid bottom, theiir poor little feet. I wondered if this would count as cruelty by the SPCA. iIt certainly does for all of us!!!

Oh dear God, that is barbaric. Is there anything you can do?

Words fail me

Are these being bred for pets? Is there no desire to have healthy, socialised rabbits?

I wondered the same thing...

I just want to cry.... I really do.

That is horrible!

This made me feel sick to my stomach. Those poor bunnies...

Is there not a duty of care to provide them with hay and water - the basic needs - even if they're NOT being bred as pets?

The one top left who is looking up is just saying "take me"

I think I'd have to take all of them, I couldn't leave them like that

OMG that is truly horrific. The breeder should be ashamed of themselves. Animals are not commodities and even if you just objectify them, surely business sense would kick in. Is there any US or state welfare authority you could report this to?

Have you reported them love? I so wish we could be there and go in en masse and complain!!!
