All About Rabbits
Rabbits & Children
Contrary to popular belief rabbits do not make good children’s pets. As prey animals, most do not like to be picked up and cuddled. They need plenty of space and a suitable environment. The traditional rabbit hutch is outdated. It is very cruel to keep a rabbit caged or to keep on singly as they need the company of other rabbits. Unfortunately both sexes will fight if they are in same sex groupings and so the ideal pairing is a neutered male with a female.
Humane Alternatives To Caging
(a) House-rabbits - rabbits can be litter trained and have the freedom of your house. See this rabbit website for more details
(b) Rabbits can live outside and have the freedom of an enclosed back garden or a very large pen. The pen needs to be at least 15 foot by 15 foot, the more space you give them the more rewarding they will be to watch. They will need a dry sleeping area, such as a hutch or dog kennel filled with hay but you will probably find they burrow under it and live underneath.
(c) Plenty of people keep “free range” rabbits successfully but this is risky and you need all the factors to be just right for it to work.
For further information on the keeping of rabbits the best website we have found is Cotton Tails Rescue
