Story supporting Georgie_f

It's more than tough going changing attitudes, especially when it comes to getting bunnies their basic needs. This is to support http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?p=3636304#post3636304
Sometimes things just happen at our house.
I needed some heavy work doing round the house, & the builder came with his 2 daughters. They were very well behaved children, & good about my rules of not chasing Thumps - letting him come up to them & hop away as he wished. Thumper was being his sociable self, free ranging the house & later in the garden when we all went out to look at what needed to be done.

The girls had 2 rabbits & couldn't get over how tame Thumps is, & how he came in as soon as he was called. Their Dad decided that their 2 buns couldn't free range in the garden but he'd make them a really big run.

I met the Dad a few months later. He couldn't believe the change in the rabbits temperaments for the better since they'd had more space.They were far easier to handle & showing their personalities more.

I wonder how many others have similar stories?

Thank you for the support Judy! :wave: It's very much apreciated!

I'd like to think that my free-ads advert will make a few people think twice about what's required of a bunny owner. Even if only one person takes notice, it'll be worth it! Hopefully a few more RU members will think it's a good idea too and will post similar adverts on their own local classifieds pages.

I think there are so many people, just like your builder, that are just unaware of basic bunny needs and a little bit of information can make all the difference.

It just seems that distributing the information in a format that will be read and taken on board is a little difficult! :roll::lol:

This may help you, it's a long thread but does have some good ideas on it.
Unfortunately none of the links work any more.

Good luck in what your doing.
