There was a thread posted earlier in the year I think about a youtube clip from Japan
about a Rabbit cafe and it's where people go to sit and drink and play with rabbits and what not.
On my last few hours in Japan last week I made time to see a bunny cafe before I headed for the airport. and it was an extremely pleasant time and the bunnies were happy and healthy and the girl running the place was "educating" me on rabbit care and behaviour as she didn't know I own bunnies. But I thought it was really great that she was so enthusiastic to teach people and I was more than happy to see what her definition of rabbit care is.
some bunnies there were for sale as she breeds them but she only breeds a couple times a year from each doe. there were 3 kits for sale there and they cost almost around 300$ AUD. There weren't an oversized amount of bunnies as they aren't allowed to run at the same time. she only puts bonded ones out at a time or the unfixed ones out singularly. I checked their nails and they were nicely trimmed and all the buns had a strong trust with me and let me check their nails and fiddle to see them closely which ensured that this care isnt just a business for money as each bunny loved attention and were very trusting of even strangers.
We were given a bit of thinly sliced carrot to feed some buns with some baby spinach as well.
The only issue I saw was they were wire bottom cages with nothing to rest their feet on. but we worked out the place is open during the day til quite late at night and each bunny gets a lot of time off the wire. none of them had sore feet so I think it will be okay.
It cost 6 dollar for half an hour or 10 dollars for a full hour there and I got an orange juice for 1 dollar and my partner got a cafe latte for 1 dollar also. So the place doesn't seem very profitable as its a very small place and would only fit maybe 4 people at a time.
. I'm so sorry for such a long post, I am never good at simply stating things as I think every detail is important so I apologize. Anyway, time for photos.
