Why do Americas keep there rabbits in high rise cages with wire floors ? feel so sad for these buns
As far as I've seen, a majority of pet rabbit owners in the US do keep their rabbits either free range or in cages/hutches with solid bottom floors. Because other forums also have rabbit breeders as members, those may be the pictures that you are seeing. Rabbit breeders more commonly are the ones that keep their rabbits on wire floors. The reasons that I know of are for the mentioned reason of hygiene and helping to prevent illnesses that can be spread from the feces and urine. Also because of the warmer climate in the summer in a majority of the states, added airflow from wire bottom floors also helps keep the rabbits cooler.
