wud u class this as neglect?

my mate has a rabbit who she got off someone at work who no longer wanted her. the rabbit was kept in a 3ft hutch and had an eye infection which is all treated now.
anyways i keep telling her to research flystrike - told her months ago - she still hasnt. she wont get the bun spayed even tho i linked her to sites and told her the risk of cancer.
bunny was living in house in a hutch type thing and had access to kitchen floor at all times but now been moved outside with no permanent run, the hutch is 2 level (but shes cut one level off cas bun never used the ramp, its big enough for about 2 little hops and not enough to perriscope. but bunny does come inside from about 5pm - 10 pm. im trying to tell her its not fair on the bun and is abit like neglect but shes failing to see it. :(
 
poor bun can't see why she cut of the bottom part if she had left it on at least the bun would have had a choice to use it or not.
 
I'm not sure if its exactly neglect as there's lots of animals living in much worse conditions :cry: but the owner could improve the bunns life a lot- by getting her a friend and a hutch with attached run etc.

Maybe suggest she joins here?
 
When bunny comes in between five and ten, does bunny have the run of the house to skip and jump?
