That's good, of course. The other ones had no problems either - until ...
I can't get that image out of my head and I bet the owners never will either.....

Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

it's beyond me... I struggle to even force my hand through the wire gaps... obviously people must have bought the cheaper versions which flex easily...
I don't think it matters: I reckon mine would go through the one I've got. I can get my whole hand and most of my wrist through but I have tiddly hands, Matt can get about half a hand through. The bars are stiff but can be bent with enough force: even I can temporarily move them (i.e. not bend them into a new position) to get the tubes in and out. That's one thing it is good for, holding the tubes in place!Is there a cheaper version? Because they all look the same to me.
I can't see any point at all in taking the risk - I would only have a permanently attached wooden run, which affords better protection in every way.
So much unnecessary heartbreak from these evil things. I'm so glad I clicked on this thread at last; my bunnies have no enclosures / pens so I assumed there was no need to read it but this is something every bunny owner needs to be aware of. I'm also pleased i didn't click on the picture.
My heart goes out to the many many people on this thread whose bunnies have been lost or suffered
I assume all bunny boarding & rescues will be well aware of the risks?
Not necessarily. Even people who are aware of the risks continue to use them. Incredible I know.
Would someone mind letting me know the manufacturer and retailer, by pm. Thank you.
I am surprised anyone would buy it given the feedback and that photo. But I guess people don't read the feedback and just order it anyway?
I emailed a Liverpool rescue as they had these on their amazon wishlist. They just thanked me and said they would look into it :roll:
