What the Bunny Lady advocates for
House rabbits
Here at the Bunny Lady, I advocate for keeping pet rabbits inside rather than in a hutch outside. Rabbits are happiest and safest when they can spend their time safe inside your home. They don’t have to worry about predators or inclement weather. Rabbits are playful and intelligent animals, and they can be a joyful part of anyone’s family just like a cat or dog.
Respecting rabbits
Rabbits are very unique animals with their own personalities. I believe that their boundaries should be respected. We should learn to gain the trust of our beloved pets and not force them into situations that make them unhappy (like keeping them locked up in a cage all day).
Spay or neuter your rabbit
For health reasons, I believe it is vitally important for rabbit owners to get their pets spayed or neutered. Female rabbits, in particular, stand a very hight chance of getting a reproductive cancer if they are left un-spayed. Getting a rabbit altered will also fix some aggressive and territorial rabbit behaviors, and will help them become a happier part of your family.
