I think Watermelons was quite clear about how things should be handled when it comes to these things. The more we feed into the negative, the more it will grow and get out of hand.
ChrissyB, welcome to the forum.
I am sorry the thread deviated from the original purpose but let's just bring it back on track shall we? I think RO's stance is to not have a divide between indoor and outdoor bunnies even though each member has their own opinion about it. So basically, whatever you want to know, you can just post it in the category that fits best. So if it's about housing outdoors, you can post it in 'Housing', if it's about water bottles and food you can post it in 'Nutrition', etc. If you want to have a general discussion about outdoor bunnies then I guess this section ("Housing and Environment") is the right place to post it. Either way, if ever it really is in the wrong section, a moderator will move it to where they think it will fit better and get more attention so no harm done.
My bunnies are also outside because it's the only way I can keep them due to very severe allergies so I understand. Mine have a shed and access to the garden. I do have a baby indoors right now but I should be alright with him til his hormones really start kicking in.
You don't need to feel defensive about having them outdoors if they are well-taken care of. Many of us here have them outside, especially the breeders who often have too many to keep inside. Of course, some members feel that they should be strictly indoor pets but RO encourages people to be respectful and open-minded when it comes to certain things so you shouldn't worry. If ever you have issues, you can contact the staff and they can better guide you.
