Today's hop brings me here http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/diet.html the House Rabbit Society's website. A really upbeat bounce-back from that nasty rabbit farm. A person shouln't be fooled by the basic look of this site - the HRS is a fantastic resource for anyone who has rabbits, whether 'house' or otherwise. This raises an issue in my mind about the importance (or otherwise) of how a website is presented. HRS is a place that is visited by many keen rabbit owners and casual visitors I guess, and they haven't really bothered with bells and whistles. And it's easy to use. The problem with it is that you get lost in it, because of all the interesting stuff on there (if you like bunnies of course). I just accidentally came across a guide for bonding bunnies and lost half an hour there. That's the 'net for you.
Anyhoo, the whole idea of a House Rabbit used to seem a bit bizarre to me. Rabbits are, after all, designed to live outside. How do you replicate that in a house? How do you replicate burrowing for instance? The HRS knows. Check it out. Next search: Rabbit OR diet NOT pellets
