Why keep a rabbit in my house?

There are several reasons why keeping a rabbit in your house rather than in an outdoor hutch is better for both you and your rabbit. Not only will you benefit from a greater level of contact and companionship with your bunny, but he will feel happier by being near you, will benefit from greater exercise levels (thus avoiding the skeletal problems and overweightness often associated with hutch rabbits), and there will be no need to worry whether the outside temperature is suitable for your rabbit (hutch rabbits will die if it's too cold).

Rabbits are not the obvious choice for a house pet, and many people see it as strange or unnatural for a rabbit to be kept indoors. The reality is, however, house rabbits actually exhibit far more natural behaviours than hutch rabbits. Having a rabbit living with you is very much like having a cat living with you - they hop gently around, sleep in shady places such as under chairs or coffee tables, and sometimes come up for a fuss. House rabbits are affectionate, clean, fun and happy creatures, and you will love their company!

So, in summary, having a house rabbit rather than a hutch rabbit is good because:

·                    You will have greater contact with your bunny

·                    He will have more exercise

·                    He will always be warm and comfortable

·                    He will exhibit more natural behaviour
