When you first thought about owning rabbits, what did you see in your mind? I saw a hutch and a run that went in the garden, you know the ones about 2 foot square. I thought they ate the rabbit mix and thats it (oh and carrots and lettuce). I thought they were better on their own. I thought they liked being picked up, held and cuddled.
Boy have my thoughts changed since then! A visit to the local RSPCA branch later and the two tier 4ft hutch was put into shame after we thought it was massive! :lol: I now understand the needs of rabbits much more, and still laugh at people who think we are nuts for our run and hutch. Our nextdoor neighbours thought we were buliding a shed! The only regret I have is we didn't end up adopting rabbits, we knew someone who had kits so we ended up with 2 of them. We didn't have the run until later on but still let them into the enclosed garden and house. When I look through how many paired bunnies need homes, I know I will never buy another baby bunny again.
So what were your pre-conceptions on owning a bunny? And how have they changed?
