So...to make a [beginning of a] long story short, me and my mom went out to a pet store to buy some hay for Sunny, and, they had rabbits there. So of course, me must playz wif teh bunz.!
WELL...
I noticed there was about 6 buns in a triangular tank with an opened top, so, air ventilation was good. BUT, the tank was big enough for the rabbit (they were all pretty small, all females, different breeds and bonded well) to take 6-10 hops from one side to the other. It seemed is if they had nothing to do, so they just decided to sleep, and they were all in one corner, sleeping almost on top of each other, in a little bun-pile.
Now, I've been wanting a new rabbit (preferably female), and & willing to take the time to bond her/him with Sunny.
So, I really wanted one from the pet store (I know, they're usually sick or something), but got to thinking about the sickness issue.
So then I thought to just adopt from my local humane society.
Now here's where the issue comes at hand..
I don't like the fact of those rabbits being all bunched up together, with nothing to do, and think I could make a good and better-loving- home for one of them.
But then again, it probably is just contributing to the whole "puppy (using that as an example) mill" or backyard breeder issue.
So, I need your guys' opinion. What would you do? It's kind of like 2 different types of rescues.
Thanks for your opinions.
