Rabbits do not NEED human interaction especially if they live with other rabbits. Also rabbits do better in the cold than they do in the heat. Mine both live outside in a large 10 ft x 3 ft cage and are very happy. They are mother and daughter and bonded. They do not need or want my human interaction at all. lol I think what they are doing is cruelty rabbit cages should be covered with that tarp at all times. 1. for shade from the sun 2. for a barrier from the cold and 3. shelter from rain and wet.
