Bunny grand national

[b]Its me again just been watching the local news and it seems its the bunny grand national tomorrow in Harigate all the buns shown looked very happy and I fell in love with Smudge from Hudersfield any comments?

What is a bunny grand national. This is a bit of a worry to me I think.

Just put a link to Yorkshire post all the bunns seemed to be having fun but you can never tell its run by burgess I think

Here's the link to last night's Look North:

Take it to 22.44 minutes to watch the feature.

I'm sitting on the fence on this one a little. I don't like shows as I know rabbits don't take stress well, but seeing some of the rabbits who compete they obviously enjoy it.

That article was hilarious! Smudge was definitely more interested in the grass in the garden than the fences. I think she will have her work cut out with him.

The Scandanavian bunny was amazing!

I don't know how I feel about this really. I know that some bunnies love doing jumps but don't know how they would feel about being away from home and being surrounded by other bunny smells. I can just imagine an enormous bunny fight.

[b]Yes I felt whilst they may enjoy the jumping and playing the travel and the noise from people all around may spook them but smudge was so cute and chilled out. One thing I did notice was the size of the hutch he was lifted out of in the shed seemed quite small

That's because she's a breeder. They tend to have a large pool of rabbits and keep them in small hutches usually stacked one on top of another. They probably don't realise that they are being cruel, but it is cruelty by neglect.
