Voodoo, I agree 100 percent. I don't understand in having a pet whether it's a rabbit, guinea pig or other, in whereas you allow it to live outdoors.

There is no way they can be 100 percent safe.

How can an owner tell if a pet is in trouble during the night?

How can an owner tell if their pet is sick?

If the pet was inside chances are the problem would be found out quickly. Outside they have to wait till their owner makes an appearance.

Of course we are always told they are safe from predators. Hog wash. All it takes is one determined animal to find a way into the hutch and they will find a way. I have seen this for myself. We all think not us, but there is no way in hell I would take that 1 chance out of a million that it could be mine. I couldn't sleep at night.

To sum it up, there are those pet owners who enjoy their pets on their time, when they want to, and there are those who enjoy their pets all the time when they want to and when their pets want to. How could you have a pet on a part time basis?
