The emphasis on this article is to encourage everyone with a pet rabbit to please bring your loving pet indoors. Having a house rabbit will provide you with much more enjoyment, while seeing all the wonderful, cute things house rabbits do in their daily lives, those things you miss when you leave your rabbit outdoors, but you will also prolong their lives, and give them a social life that they will enjoy profusely! The quality of life for you both will increase dramatically! You will be able to notice changes in your pet rabbit that need immediate vet attention, as opposed to visiting your rabbit every few days while they are in a hutch and suddenly seeing him lifeless.
Even if you visit your pet rabbit while he's outside on a daily basis, you will probably only visit him once a day, hopefully to provide them with fresh water and feed, you can still find your pet in an undesirable condition, one that is irreversible at that point. Having your pet as a house rabbit will encourage more visits than if he's outside and will give you the chance to notice changes in his behavior that need the attention of a vet or constant monitoring on your part, to insure a specific condition does not worsen.
The social interaction that will be provided to your house rabbit will help him to become more at ease around humans and other animals. Often pet rabbits that are left outside to fend for themselves have little human interaction. And if you have other pets, whether they are dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, etc., you will find that your pet rabbit can socialize with them as well!
Many of us "older" people were raised that pet rabbits where always kept outside, but squashing those myths, it has been found that having a house rabbit is much better for your pet rabbit in so many ways. Again I have to mention the social aspect, which is so important, as well as being able to keep a close eye on your pet rabbit to notice any health changes. You will be much more likely to include your pet rabbit in daily events and to train and allow your rabbit to get the much needed exercise that he needs.
Although rabbits are not rodents, you would not leave your pet rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, etc., outdoors, much less your dogs or cats, caged to defend them against inclement weather or predators, right? Why would not you consider a house rabbit? Yes, they require a larger cage than those smaller pets, but they do deserve the same daily attention as the rest.
I hope that I have convinced you to include your new pet in your home. Having a house rabbit will improve its quality of life and yours!
