hya , ive been lurking round for some time now without becoming a member .
i just have a few questions .
everyone seems to keep their rabbits indoors which just seems a little odd to me ,
they are a creature designed to live outdoors in the wild in the fresh air & eating grass .
their fur is meant to grow thicker to compensate for the drop in temperature
whereas surely if kept indoors the heating in the house will inhibit its natural biology ?
why is it better to get an older rabbit from a rescue which may well have behavioural issues etc
than a baby which will grow up knowing you & being in a loving home from the off ?
why is it that its highly promoted that all rabbits should be neutred & kept paired ?
& why are breeders (whether for show or for 'fun') lambasted & persecuted ? but if no one bred rabbits then in a few years all of you would have empty hutches:?
dont get me wrong , im not a disgruntled breeder , in fact i dont have a rabbit , i came here for information & was a little astounded at what i found
