A hutch never has and never will be enough - rabbits were born to run and seeing one who has lived in a tiny cage for 5 long years experience grass and space for the first time made me cry my heart out. My beautiful girl can now run and play all she wants since she has been saved from a life in a cage that was only twice her length.
Norway recently passed a law stating that children cannot have sole responsibility for any pet anymore. I don't feel I can often give my rabbits all the attention they need, as there are five of them and I can't put up runs for everyone. They take turns in using the outdoor run and having the free run of the shed they live in (with large hutches inside of course) I hope to rehome a few, so that two of them can simply run around in there 24/7
This is a great campaign :) i didn't want to keep my two girls in hutches so I emptied the shed and put a little gate at the front, filled it with sawdust and toys and beds (stuff that bunnies like!) and let them have free run of it :) they love it in there :D
This is the lyrics. The question marks > ? < were the parts i didnt hear neither. If some1 did hear it, pls add it.
'I'm alone, and you can't see me. Once a day you throw me food. Forgotten here, there is no freedom. I'm invisible to you. When I'm hurt, I can not tell you. When I'm need i have no choise. Think of me and be my hero. ? You and I ?, you are my voice . Behind a wire wall of sorrow, you're a prisoner in silence ways.
Yesterday, today, tomorrow my quite live will ... ??? .. away. Because a hutch is not enough. Time ran out and .. ? .... Interest way and another day wore off, because a hutch is bot enough. Oh a hutch is not enough. I may not cry but I need love. A little grass and a friend to chear me up, because a hutch ... is not enough.
Why would you dislike this? What on earth is wrong with this video?
Oh wait, I bet you've got one, un-neutered rabbit that sits alone all day in its tiny one story hutch, and you think it's perfectly happy. Yeah, sure. :/
Thank you for making this video! Hopefully people will see it and it will improve life for rabbits, but nothing makes a rabbit more a part of the family than bringing them indoors! Spayed and neutered rabbits are easy to litter train, affectionate and playful.
who wrote/sang the song, its fab. The video brought a tear to my eye, so many bunnies live the life of the poor bunny at the very end. Its such a shame :-(
@KissySquirrel Firstly, why are you SHOUTING AT EVERYONE? and secondly, I don't think you have read the comment I was replying to correctly. I have 5 rabbits and I think this video is great!
@KissySquirrel Just to be clear - someone called 'fuzzpuup' said 'I wanted to see an eagle Fly down and eat them...... That would be nice' - my reply was to that, rather stupid and insensitive comment. Fuzzpuup then went on to have a go at me for daring to question their stupidity. I think you meant your reply to go to fuzzpuup, not me!
@fuzzpuup Oh my blueberries, I had a typo and forget an o. Big whoop. It look's like you aren't the smartest either - you ever heard of a little word called punctuation?
@d4nr8: Why do you think we should be "less protective?" Free run of the back yard is too dangerous. There's way too much chance of the little guys escaping or a predator getting them.
Like everyone else has said, great video and message. The song was sweet, only twigged what it was about half way through and made me think of all the rabbits in pet stores around the area I live in, not being allowed access to runs at all, stuffed in tiny little cages or worse, tanks like the one in the beginning of this video. Nowhere to stretch their legs, no fresh air, awful way to start their lives. I hope this video encourages owners to think more of their rabbits welfare.
Great message - shame the run depicted is so small though as the supposed improvement! Run of the garden all day every day is so much better! Got to start being less protective over our rabbits - especially the larger breeds! A hutch and run is not enough...
@d4nr8 I doubt many owners could say they can catch their rabbit with no chase beforehand, which isn't fun and games for either owner or rabbit. Also you have to think about any predatory wildlife/neighbourhood cats in the area and poisonous plants in the garden which would be fatal for rabbits. And then there is the problem of the little Houdini's in training... I'm actually able to let my rabbit have free range, but not every owner can. Its just not as simple as you seem to think.
@GraceUnderPressure1 I would never encourage anyone to chase and catch their rabbits; far better to have a trained rabbit or a cat flap! I think I just meant that we have to be less protective about our rabbits in the first place - don't buy them if you can't make your garden unescapable and their are obvious predators around. I have no problems with paddocks/ aviary style runs but the ones in the film are too small.
Wonderful video! Thank you! Out bunnues are such a joy, and the have free run of the house except an night the are in a LARGE indoor hutch.

May I ask for the lyrics of this song?
I want to translate it , so I can share it with others in Taiwan.
My English is not good enough to understand all the words by listening.
It is the year of the rabbit here in Taiwan, meny people buy rabbits for good luck or for it's cute looks ,but soon they forget obout the rabbit .
It would be nice to share this with them :)
