Rabbits are among the most neglected pets in terms of housing standards, with millions kept in hutches far too small to allow normal movement, social behavior, and psychological wellbeing.
Rabbits in undersized hutches cannot perform their most basic behavioral needs including running, jumping, and digging. Social isolation in solitary-housed rabbits leads to depression and stereotypic behaviors. The combination of confined housing, inappropriate diet, and poor handling contributes to chronic suffering in millions of pet rabbits worldwide.
