Environment for keeping rabbits

Rabbits should be kept in conditions that cater for their physical and behavioural needs.

Provided these needs are met it is equally acceptable for pet rabbits to be kept outdoors in suitable accommodation, or indoors as house rabbits. Keeping a rabbit in solitary confinement in a hutch is unacceptable.
