Seeing various threads on here has got me wondering the above really.
I've seen wonderful setups on here from people who have lots, lots of rabbits, but manage it very well. The setups are always tidy, plenty of space and hay and rabbits cared for how they should be.
I've also seen some setups on here (although very few in comparison to the above) where there seems to be a bit of double standards going on and the rabbits aren't all getting as much space etc as they should because there are so many rabs. However in those instances it doesn't seem to be as frowed upon if the member is well known and/or liked, or because the rabbits are rescued etc. And yes we should all try to help bunnies in need if we can, but when do you draw the line and be honest with yourself and say "Well, I can't meet this rabbits basic requirements either, so I can't really take him/her".
Another thing I wondered is, if the rabbits do all have their basic housing, space, company etc needs met, does it really matter how many you keep to authority figures such as the RSPCA (whom I do not like personally). As in, has anybody ever been told by the RSPCA or the likes that they have too many rabbits, even though the rabbits have at least the min recommended sized hutch and run, and company etc and are well cared for?
The setups I mentioned I seen a while ago, nothing recent. So even if I could remember names I wouldn't name as it's not about that. Just some questions I've been pondering and wanted others to share their views
