Rabbit's DON'T belong in cages!!!

[Hanna8]

How would the rabbits in cages feel like prisoners?  If the cage is the only place they have ever lived, it would feel like home to them.

Just because it's all they've ever known doesn't mean they will be happy and comfortable in it. If you were never allowed out of your bedroom your whole life I imagine you would get frustrated with it too. Especially if you can see the big wide world right outside your window like rabbits can see it through their cage wires.

My rabbits always seemed quite content, thank you. The only time they got upset is if I was late feeding them. And they never made any wild efforts to escape either. You manage your rabbits the way that works for you. And I will do the same.

This thread is getting to mad! CALM down! Before it gets locked! Please and thank you Cassie's right, different ways work for different people. My rabbits are caged how it fits my budget. ( we buy the biggest rabbit cage they have 30" 36" 16" I might have gotten some parts in my size wrong but that's not the point. I get the cages I can afford and that I have room for. Just because some of you have the time and money to build ground in closures doesn't mean the whole world can. So everyone take a breath and CALM down.

So I recently had a predator problem. For the last week I have been locking up my bunnies. From around midnight to 6 am they go "to bed". I am surprised that they have really adapted. All I have to do is guide them (taps on the bottom) and they hop right in to the cages. They train quite quickly.

Most my rabbits hate to dig. I let them out and all they do is lay around and eat grass.

I put my new zealand white doe ''Sugar'' in my tractor a little bit ago and the first time she has ever been on grass that I know of,she is loving it actually being a rabbit and hopping around,smelling things,rubbing her scent on the posts,eating grass,hopping in and out of the box. I love it and might put my young new zeland white buck in with her later and see what happens. But I'm glad she is on the ground for a while till I get my meat chicks.
