Where can I buy an outdoor rabbit in the Bay Area?

I agree with mittens. Rabbits should NOT be outside in hutches. They need to be well built and large, and ,even then, predators still could attack. Cats, dogs, raccoons and other animals are all predators to rabbits. Rabbits also get scared easily, and could have a heart attack from seeing a predator nearby, let alone possibly lunging at them and trying to get through the cage. Rabbits even through themselves against cages, which can break their neck, in an attempt to escape. Rabbits also have heat stokes very easily. They become heat stressed at 80 degrees Fahrenheit and and heat stroke and death at 85 degrees. A rabbit's lifespan almost doubles when they are kept inside too. Having an outside rabbit is a very bad idea. Rabbits hide signs of illness almost to death, so if you get a rabbit and have it indoors, you are more likely to notice signs of behavior changes. I don't think you should get a rabbit, because you are just starting trouble keeping it outside. I would go for something else that would take less time AND money. Rabbits are very expensive and involve a lot of time and devotion. Here is a page that sums up the costs -- a href="http://www.binkybunny.com/BUNNYINFO/CostofHavingaBunny/tabid/145/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow"http://www.binkybunny.com/BUNNYINFO/Cost…/a --. Rabbits love attention and need it for hours every day. Without that, they usually become aggressive. Again, I don't think that you should get a rabbit!
