The signs of illness could be detected before the problem became an emergency. However, having lived with rabbits indoors for over 15 years now, I can say with certainty that most of them crave social interaction and affection from their humans. They are, by nature, very social and loving. Being stuck outside in a hutch all alone is NOT a fun life. I would no sooner stick a bunny in an outdoor hutch all day than I would do that to a Golden Retriever.
Rabbits deserve love and interaction with their human families.
They are not just giant gerbils or hamsters. Rabbits intelligent, sensitive and have delightfully strong personalities. What a tragic waste of a spirit to put one in a cage. Return to Rabbit Information Central .
