As promised, here it is.

The large wooden box in the middle is a digging box.

Those are gonna be some happy bunnies.
My biggest concern when i see people housing bunnies indoors is that they tend to treat them like dogs or cats. They mean well and give them plenty of space and freedom. But dont give them places to chew and dig which are the things that make a rabbit a rabbit. That dig box is amazing! Rather than blocking them from chewing and digging you've given them a place speci is locally for it.

@ Raire
Breed traits. Temperament/ adult size/ fur type/grooming/ ct.

Basically, I've seen an ad for some, fell in love of the look of them, but need to know whether it's a breed that sounds like a good match for my mini rex doe (as a hus-bun, not to breed together).

      I was waiting excitedly for this!! That looks amazing!
      I really want to get bunnies, but I don't have the space in my room for something of proper size.

Thanks! They can chew on everything and once they nibbled on the grids once they decided it's no fun and use the cardboard and wood and the occasional twigs I throw in.

What people also forget is that bunnies aren't really "cuddle pets" that don't like to be held and petted all the time. :/

@King Kakashi
That's why I didn't own them for some years. Didn't have enough space sue to moving to different flats, then there was my personal life getting inbetween me and the fur babies.
But i found a new flat and moved in December/January with an extra room for the buns :D
It's better to not own bunnies than keep them in tiny cages. >w <

      That's why I have rats instead xD When I move out, I plan to make sure there is an extra room so I can have a pet room C: With buns!!

      Welcome! Do you have any pictures of them? I can't get bunnies until I move out so I'm living vicariously through everyone here xD

Also sorry to hear about that you can't have buns quite yet, but honestly that works out because then when you are living on your own you can set up their enclosures exactly how you want without fear of it interfering with other family members x)

(my buns are currently in the living room while I foster a rabbit from the shelter in my room :))

      @flufferpie
      Such cute buns!!What kind of setup do you have?

      Question for everyone:
      Do any of you have both bunnies and cats? Do they get along? Do you ensure they are separated?
