🥳Pizza, Pits, Puzzles and Pumpkin Party Animals Play!🎉

Why?
Not their own houses obviously, but indoor rabbits are very common.
Even that isn't how rabbits live naturally. When you go building houses for them, you are not doing it for the rabbits, yoou are doing it for yourself and sizing it appropriately for you instead of for the rabbits.

Given a choice rabbits prefer to be on the ground with lots of greenery and hiding places.
 
Well, unless she's hiding somewhere where I couldn't find her after four loops around the house and two around the coop, Baba Yaga's been taken -- most likely by that hawk.
I am so sick of this thing. First it leaves Simnel behind, and then it takes one of Marshmallow's babies.
I'll let you guys know if the little one pops back up. I hope that she does.

Yes, I'm sizing it for people to be able to walk in there and take care of them and clean. Yes, it is large. They need lots of space to exercise and play. They don't just lay around all the time.
And they will have plenty of hiding places such as boxes, tunnels, a teepee, and other things. I am also going to provide them with some live plants that they can eat too.

I'm not going to keep them outside because 1, it's hot here. Though they have thick coats that keep them warm in winter, this can make overheated in the summer. 2, they'll be much safer from predators. Their current setup is outside and it is not at all predator proof. Any animal could easily kill them. If not kill them, it could give them a heart attack. And 3, I don't want to keep them in a hutch. To small, most have wire bottoms, and predators can still torment them. And I can't provide them with as much stuff when they're in a hutch.

They will still get outside time though. In a safe way too.

There is a big difference between wild rabbits and domestic rabbits. Wild rabbits here can't even breed with domestic ones. Wild rabbits know how to care for themselves. They know how to find food and water, stay safe from predators, and even then they don't always make it. They're part of nature.
It's like the difference between wolves and dogs. Except rabbits are prey.

I want to give them the best life possible. That's the whole reason I'm doing this, it's to improve their life. Right now they don't even have hay or toys, and their quality of life is very poor. One of them can't even run or play.
If you have a problem with me helping them then fine. I'm only doing it to make their life better.

I'm so sorry, I really hope you find her
