I got a response: Feeling angry: Cage advertised as being suitable for 3-5 rabbits!

I've just been searching ebay for an outdoor run for Doughnut and came across an indoor cage:

Spacious interior, suit for 3-5 rabbits

External dimensions: approximately 120(L) X 58(W) X 40(H)cm
-Top door dimensions: 38.5X32.5 cm
-Tray: 120*58*19 cm
-Feeder: 25.5*16 cm
-Front door: about 19 X 13cm

I need to chill I think, awful for one rabbit let along 3-5, don't even think 5 would fit in there!

I know don't think I'm allowed to link the page, looks like a hamster cage to me anyway as I don't associate rabbits with cages!
 
I wonder if they think that because they had small baby rabbits in it who seemed to have lots of space. Not that I agree with it of course! I saw a 5ft hutch advertised on eBay ages ago, "suitable to fit 6 rabbits", I just thought yeah, fit them in like sardines in a can :evil:

It actually works out at 3ft x 2ft x 1.3ft.
 
All sent. I've just advised them that it is not even the minimum requirements for one rabbit and it would be very cruel to keep a rabbit in there let alone 3-5. I just said I'm sure you're probably not aware of this and thought I would just let you know. It wasn't a horrible message so hopefully I will get a reply. Sadly it says 83% of the cages have been sold hopefully to hamsters not rabbit owners
 
I got a response:

Thank you for your email and letting us know.

I have passed your email to our listing team and they will make amendments accordingly.

We appreciate your help.

Kind Regards

They have taken off the 3-5 rabbits, they have still said it's spacious but at least that's something.
 
Well done. as you said .. 'at least it's something' .. and every little change helps the big ones x

ETA : Just a thought... Now that you've approached them in a positive way and they've responded, there may be an opportunity there, for them to listen to more advice from you, change the listings further? :)

Well done :D I would definitely follow up with a thank you for listening/making the change and you could add a link to something on housing or a source of info - maybe the RSPCA or similar for their future reference.
