The Bunny Zone (Free Entry) @ Langkawi Sky Cab [Malaysia]

Tourists visiting Langkawi should have heard of Langkawi SkyCab. Ranked the top attraction on TripAdvisor, i knew i had to go, especially when the recommendation came with a strong endorsement from a friend.

While there were many things to do aside from taking the cable car, most have an entrance fee and a particular one stood out for having free entrance; the bunny zone! 

Kids would love it as they could play with bunnies in a huge compound that didn't come with barbed wires, fences or any barriers! It's literally an up-close experience although barrier free may not necessarily be a good thing.

The rabbits might not like to be held and some kids (adults even) could mishandle them by pulling their ears or just being rough in their bid to 'catch' one. Staff members were around to assist but there were only so many of them. Hence, enter the bunny zone at your own risk! 

There were many rabbits of different sizes, colours and patterns. However, as the zone was large and dotted with greenery, you don't find the numbers overwhelming. As it was already close to the end of operating hours, i didn't actually stop into the zone even though i took some photos from the outside.

No smell in my opinion but it might be a different story up close. Don't play with the black pellets on the floor and do stop your toddlers from putting them in their mouth; the pellets are, in fact, the poo of the rabbits. 

Playground for the kids in the same compound; a short gate restricted access to the free-roaming rabbits. Since it was already late, the place was largely deserted. 

Good life for the rabbits; apart from the spaciousness of their 'cage', there were a few sheltered areas in events of wet, stormy weather or a sunny day.

Some were enclosed in typical cages that i thought were too small for their sizes and wondered if they were too because they were ill / needed protection from the unknowns in the open space. Don't be surprised as snakes could be rather prevalent in the area. 

My prayers go to those who remained outside then. On second thought, what would be the survival odds between the one who stays in the cage and the other one who is outside? Well, i guess it depends how big the snakes are!
