Hey
I've recently been looking online for a decent run, but it is very difficult. It took an hour to find the size of run I wanted (8ftx5ft), but the vast majority of runs are tiny, and only a very few are of a decent size and of RWAF recommendation (8ftx4ft). It's no wonder that people house their rabbits in tiny hutches and runs when it's difficult to find any hutch or run of decent size.
It should be the other way round, it should be difficult to find small hutches/runs and very easy to find decent sized hutches and runs. Until this happens, I can't see accommodation for rabbits getting any better. To be honest, if a shop or online site sells a product, however small it is for the intended animal, people will buy it thinking it must be suitable because it is being sold. We can not change people's perception of rabbit accommodation size when the vast majority of hutches and runs for sale are not suitable.
