A story about a Belgium Hare. I went to P@H recently and fell in love with a 5 month old rabbit, Dave, in their rescue/adopt bit. I adopted him and took him home. I put him in an enclosure without a roof ( cordoned off part of my aviary style run) while I was sorting out his accommodation. He jumped clean over it, in with the other rabbits. Gah! Quickly put him into his accommodation, not quite ready as I hadn't attached a run. He spent 24 hours running up and down, up and down. I totally panicked and took him back to P@H.!
Next day, my friend sent a link to Belgium Hares and I realised he was certainly mainly Belgium Hare. I read it and realised I'd not given him the right accommodation. Really regretted taking him back.so, I rung P@H and persuaded them to let me adopt him again (I know, I'm a total idiot). They did agree once I'd explained his breed (they didn't know) and I showed them the new improved accommodation. So, I've now got him back, he's gorgeous! Clever, funny, friendly and beautiful! I've had a 6 x 8 super strong run made which is attached to his hutch at the back. I'm going to bond him with my lop once he's ready.
My point, after a long story, is, read up on Belgium Hares! Dave runs around ALL THE TIME! Yesterday I put a new runaround tunnel (thanks esupi!) that I've just bought on the front of his hutch and he ran up and down it for 6 hours, non stop. He makes my other rabbits look so lazy. I adore him, so glad I went back for him. They are truly a lovely breed.
