I understand things in this way:
My knowledge about rabbits is limited to the personalities of my own bunnies. I know if they like their heads scratched, or their bums rubbed.
I know which ones like craisins, and which ones like papaya.
That all I can say that I know, for sure, no doubt about, it is the truth.
Everything else about rabbits comes from other people. No one person just "knows" everything about their bunny. All of the things we learn come from the total pot of information about rabbits, to which people contribute their own experiences.
Information is evaluated in regards to what is considered appropriate by the vast majority of people, and by the majority of experts.
As the vast majority of people suggest that I should not feed my rabbits steak, I don't feed my rabbits steak.
The majority of people suggest I feed them timothy pellets without little kibbly bits in them, so I do.
The objective of this thread is to take a look at what the majority of RO members (especially those with many years of rabbit experience and education) feel is an appropriate cage size.
By looking at the majority opinion, plus the animal cruelty laws of each country, Becca can choose the appropriate cage size to build.
On a personal level between Autumn and Emily, I think it is good to keep an open mind to the experiences of other people, and to take their experiences into consideration. People learn all through their lives, and nobody knows all the exact true answers. We just share what we understand with other people, in hopes of one day finding the one TRUE big answer. Try to think of people's comments as their information they are sharing with you, on your search for more knowledge.
