Imagine you’re taken by aliens. They lift you to their ship where they inform you they’ve made you a suitable home. It has everything you need to survive: you get served food and water twice a day, there’s a book to read as well as a little puzzle to keep you entertained. You enter your new home, which is just tall enough to stand up straight, and just a little longer than your bed to make room for a toilet. It doesn’t seem too bad, considering you probably thought you were about to die when the aliens took you.
Now, you realize that while you can stretch out in this room, you can’t really move around that much. With your bed, your food/water and toilet, you cant take more than a few steps back and forth before bumping into something. The toilet in the corner is also not like the one you’re used to, and cannot flush so you’re stuck with your own waste near the place where you eat and sleep, until someone gets by to clean it up. If you’re lucky, it’s cleaned every day but sometimes you have to sit with it for 2, 3 even 4 days because your captors were busy, and maybe tired after a long day of work so they saved it for tomorrow. When you have read your book and laid out your puzzle enough times for them to fall apart, the alens replace them – not with different books and puzzles, just a new copy of the same one you had before. You sometimes get to come out of the room and wander the spaceship with your strange captors, but during this time you are also watched, touched and even held for a cuddle. These strange creatures speak and act in a way you can’t understand and you have no fellow human to keep you company or seek comfort from.
Does that sound like a pleasant time to you? Not to sound harsh, but you can do better. That little foot is sticking out because there’s no room for it in that cage, idk where you live but where I am cages that size are illegal for rabbits. We have plenty of tips here on the page, I’m sure you would get to know a completely new rabbit if you set up a simple exercise pen with a litter box instead of that.
