Hi guys, bit of a lurker here as i dont own my own bunnies yet but am passionate about their care. A local quiet pub near where I live recently got bunnies and I am very sad to say they have a pair in this *sneakily taken photo while there*
I think it is something similar to this http://www.petplanet.co.uk/product.asp?dept_id=811&pf_id=51379
I have written the following so far and was hoping for some hints and tips to perfect my letter to them.
thanks for reading, help would be great!

I have written the following so far and was hoping for some hints and tips to perfect my letter to them.
I am writing to express my concerns about the size of the accommodation your rabbits are currently being kept in.
I have lived in cambridge for just over a year now and in that time I have become quite fond of the ______ as my local pub and visit quite often in term time with friends and housemates. It is therefore saddening to me that when I visited the the pub that I love this Monday evening I saw them keeping rabbits in a way that is less than RSPCA recommended standards. This is something that makes me reluctant to return to the pub as the way they are kept will only encourage by example to others to keep rabbits in such small living conditions which I cannot agree with and do not want to see as it upset me considerably on my last visit.
I am delighted that you have a pair of bunnies that seem very well bonded and seem very happy together, however they desperately need a larger home. I am not sure whether you let them have access to the garden or any open running space at any point during the day or not but if you don’t then they will definitely also need a secured run. The RSPCA and RWA recommend that a pair of rabbits needs a minimum 6ft by 2ft hutch with a minimum 6ft run also.
I hope you can see that I am writing out of compassion and concern and not trying to be condescending in anyway and I am sure that your bunnies would be happier and also healthier with more space to behave naturally. If you agree and are interested in further research I would highly recommend TheRabbitHouse.com for basic info, and TheRabbitHutchShop.co.uk has some fantastic 6ft hutches for great prices.
I would be delighted to hear your views on my letter if you get the time to write back to me.
