Bunny advice in general
Ive been out and about today sexing a few bunnys, as you know Ive got a fb group and alot know how much im into bunnies, so contact me on various things, most of which Ive asked myself on here.
What shocks me is how many ppl dont know the first thing about bunnies, I went and sexed a rabbit who was called rebecca, they had had it for a year, turned out to be a boy lol he was a fluffy lop in sawdust the cage wasnt the biggest but was decent for its size. I pass the advice on Ive been given on here just hoping that some people may listen.
All the buns are indoor buns and are well groomed, but what most said was they dont let them out as once they are out they cant get them back in . Im just not sure what people expect?? If anyone was enclosed 24 hours a day in a small place they would be legging it if they knew they were gonna be locked up again till the owner could be bothered to pay it some attention

Re: Bunny advice in general
Could you advise them to attach a run to their indoor homes? When I bond mine they will not be housed in cages but I will have a massive run roughly about 10ft x 6ft

Dog crate...good space wise, you can add extra levels if you need to and attatch a pen to the front of it. It's what I have because I work long hours so buns can't free range!

Re: Bunny advice in general
As above, but I'd also add that rabbits can be trained to recall. This would be my preferred option, as they can then have the exercise and freedom, without the hassle.
I'd get them clicker rained in the house, then give them restricted access to an outside space, and train until they recall.
There's a great article on clicker training that Anne wrote here http://www.rabbitawarenessweek.co.uk/fun/how-to-clicker-train-your-rabbit

Re: Bunny advice in general
they could buy a large playpen possibly or build something that they can corden off a good area. or simply put their favourite treat in the cage after they have had a good excersize or just sit and wait for them to come to them.

Re: Bunny advice in general
yeah most had runs but not all, I tried to give them as much advice as possible but I only know so much, I do pass this site on for info but its up to them realy if they come on. Most didnt even have hay in. Ive recomended the bales I sell as it would last them longer than the little bags they can buy outa the shops and its fresher and If they need any info they can contact me any time and I can ask on here if I dunno.
Re: Bunny advice in general
I'm not sure how people cannot tell if there bun is male or female. Boo had a set huge of huge plums that you could not miss, isn't this a giveaway? If neutered, that's a different story, but don't people look on the net for clues? Don't people research their pet of choice sop they can care for it properly? If i was going to keep chinchillas for example, I'd do research so I could give them the best life I could. I don't get it? Why have a pet if you are going to shut it in a cage all it's life????????
