This is something I tell people every single day, and it's so hugely important! π
If you already have a rabbit, or have been thinking of adopting one into your family - do better than shoving them in a hutch π«
Wild rabbits can cover an area equivalent to 30 football pitches every day while grazing and playing. A study even found one underground warren spanned 517 metres and had over 150 entrances!
Make sure you provide them with sufficient space to roam, explore, binky and exercise their bouncy legs π°
A Hutch Is Not Enough.
Rabbits need space to run, stretch up and explore every day, with housing that supports their natural behaviours, not limits them.
A hutch can play a role, but it should always be part of a much larger, enriched living area with rabbits having constant access to at least 3m x 2m of space, 1m high, all in one continuous area. Through this campaign, weβre working with retailers, vets and owners to raise standards and improve rabbit welfare together.
Small changes can make a big difference π§‘
