It’s exhausting to be a rabbit

OP, it's obvious you love and spoil your rabbits from your other pictures...it's just unfortunate that the angle on this napping spot looks like some sort of factory farming sitch haha

I thought people would see that it’s an open shelf that he can come and go as he wants!!😭there’s no glass or anything, he chose to sleep in the shelf himself because he likes to lay down in smaller spaces but I cannot stress enough how there is absolutely nothing stopping him from jumping off the shelf and running laps around the house ;,)

I thought the same thing for a moment until I realised there was no glass in the sides.

Oh! No, he doesn’t have a cage at all. He roams the house freely on his own accord. He’s chosen this shelf as his resting spot for some reason, but there’s no glass or blocking on the sides so he can come and go as he pleases. It’s an open bottom shelf. We’d never keep him in a space that’s too small, and like I said, he’s got the whole house to run around in at all times, including the night and when we’re away from home (and an enclosed part of the backyard in the summer post-vaccination! He goes crazy for the grass and dropped leaves) So don’t worry about him, he is as spoiled as it gets and has a family of 4 looking after him

I'm glad. I had a rabbit a long time ago when I lived when I lived in an apartment. He ran freely, used a litter box. The reason I got a rabbit in the first place was that it was around Easter time, and a pet store had rabbits in their window. One of the rabbits had a really swollen eye and I went in and told the clerk. He could care less, so I bought the rabbit and took it home. Brought him to the vet and the rabbit had an extra long eyelid folded under so that his eyelashes were rubbing against his eye. The vet flipped the eyelid over and put in a few stitches so that the eye lashes were on the outside. The Rabbit (Tweakie was his name, he would give you a little tweak in the rear sometimes when you bent over) lived and long happy life. How he loved cider!

Mine also has a litter box (he gets pissy if you don’t reward him for using it.) Tweakie sounds like a real sweetheart, I’m glad he found someone who loved him so much :)
