huppie
Mama Doe
Hi all
We currently have a rabbit and hope to get another one soon. We have asked the Dutch equivalent of the RSPCA if we can take Huppie on a 'date'. They said fine. Huppie is out of her hutch for 12-18 hours a day and free to roam around her run which is 8 square metres (78 square feet). The rescue place have rejected us because they say that the hutch isn't big enough. It is the biggest we can find that can comfortably fit in the space available. There are two floors and each one is 155x59cm (5'1"x1'11"). I wouldn't mind but if someone came along with 20cm more hutch space but no run-space that would be ok!!!
I was sure this was big enough for two rabbits - both are about 1.5 kilos so not exactly huge!
Aaarrrggghhh, I suddenly feel **** and a bad owner!!! :shock:

Apparently, the lady didn't realise the hutch had two floors, even after I had sent a picture, or that the rabbits would have so much outside space (I told her twice)! Once that was explained in insanely minute detail she was ok. She also confirmed that there is no problem with Huppie being outside in her run/hutch combo 24 hours a day as long as it is secure - which it totally is. Hoorah! We don't have to lock Huppie up at night anymore and we can take her on her date to meet Fonzie, yippee!
Thanks for being patient with me yesterday - I was in such a state I doubted everything I was doing as a rabbit mum! I ate a lot of chocolate
