A dilemma.....Updated

I think they might benefit from a nice, casual talk with you.
I don't think it would hurt anything.
Afterall, educating is the best way to help people take care of their animals.
I agree with what Karen stated, definately mention to her that altering a rabbit benefits their overall health.
Good luck!

I would say something. Just start out by saying, "Hey, I noticed you have rabbits! I used to have rabbits when I was a kid." Or whatever, it doesn't matter, just get the conversation going. Wouldn't hurt to go over on the premise of bringing them a plate of cookies, either. You always catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, so the saying goes.

Some people are not necesarily neglectful on purpose, nor are they stupid, they are simply ignorant. They honestly don't know.

Are the young couple approachable? I know you said that you are on "hi" and "bye" terms, but would oyou feel comfortable talking to them?

Something definitely needs to be said to them otherwise they are going to have an abundance of babies and I dread to think what they would then do with them.

Let us know how you get on if you do decide to go round and have a chat.

Perhaps going over with some cookies and some rabbits treats such as fresh hay would make a converstation easier to start.

That sounded like me once. I had an rabbit called Halloween because he was black & i got it him October. I kept it instde in an cage. I fed him all of the right things & i let it out oo its cage every day when i was sitting on the couch watching TV because he would stare at the tv. I think he actually watched it. I was about 10 & i didnt know that you could alter an rabbit. I didnt know very much about him because i had no time to research him. He was given to me by my moms other friend whos other rabbits had babies & she had nowhere to put them. I kept him for about 4 months. Well, he now lives with my moms friend whos husband does magic tricks & shows.

This might sound odd and be distasteful to bunny lovers here, but could these people be raising the rabbits to sell to grocers or for eating themselves?
No true bunny lover wants to think of this, but we did have people on the next street doing just that--raising rabbits for commercial profit. I know there are different kinds of rabbits and that these might not be the same kind, but my knowledge of bunnies is limited to different ones in pet stores or children's pets. Karen would be the one to know the answer to this I think.

To be honest Mike I think they are just clueless...

Have decided to pop round in the next day or so with some rabbit treats that Sir Duncan doesn't appear to like....will take it from there
