Be super careful that the leash doesn't get wrapped around the bunny's legs. That is how Patches broke his leg. He was walking in the yard and the neighbor's dog started barking next door. He panicked and jumped away. It was a nasty break, a green stick "twisted" fracture.
why couldn't Leela adopt Molly as part of her pack?

the only problem with buying from stores is that it encourages the "bad" breeders. It's the same with dogs. A responsible breeder wants to know and approve of the homes that their babies go to. When you turn them over to a pet store, the animal will go to the first person who hands over...
Patches broke his leg in two places when he was just a little older than your Pixie. It was a "twisting" fracture - he caught his leg in the bunny leash and SNAP. It was actually just dangling there when I picked him up.
Thankfully, my vet takes payments (you can also check out Care Credit if...
I know a few local people who raise rabbits for meat. They use the cages that I posted as well.
Not to say that some of the bigger farms aren't different, just that this is the experience I have with local farmers

As I said, that is the expected norm for how bunnies should live, at least among a lot of people. So, yeah, I can see where the farmed rabbits might actually have better living conditions. After all, most pet...

I agree that out-of-cage time and human interaction are the key to your bunnies happiness. Unfortunately, the vast majority of pet rabbits get neither of those. They live in tiny square and only see people at feeding time.
It's no different than people who chain their dogs in the...

those are the hutches I'm talking about. If they are lucky, the owner puts a lean-to roof or a tarp over the top to keep out the rain. Otherwise, the poor bunny lives his whole life in the rain.
I know many people whose rabbits live in a 2 foot square hutch (that includes sleeping area - some have no sleeping area, just a square open space on all sides). Wire floor to let the poop/pee through is as close as they get to cleaning. The mess just piles up under the hutch until the rain...
Of course Mama Twilight will be staying. We are also keeping 3 of the babies

I would say these things work for puppies. Bunnies are just as smart, so I think it would at least be a good starting point.
1) don't let her out if you can't directly watch her. (this can change once she's older and you know she's not going to chew anything bad).
2) if you see her...
