To be worried about the school rabbits? WWYD?

Dd's school acquired two very cute little rabbits recently. She has been very keen to sign up to take them home to look after for the weekend so today we collected them for the weekend.

I'm really shocked to see that they spend pretty much their entire lives in a tiny living space which does not allow them to move around or stretch out. My guinea pigs have a much bigger cage than they do. The rabbits cage allows them to only do one hop from length to length (if that)

We're animal lovers and I'm very worried about them. So much so that I'm willing to buy them a bigger hutch to donate to the school.

In my situation what would you do about this? We have never had rabbits but I do know they are intelligent, complex and are often rehomed due to a lack of understanding about their care needs. What would you do?

The difficulty is that it's such a big school that it's quite difficult to find people to talk to and gauge their opinions. I'm also not a social butterfly - I have AS. I do know some parents at the school on a friend basis I can't see them getting involved.

At this point most people would think that they are ok. They have a bigger cage, they've been vaccinated and have a vet apparently. The situation was obviously a lot worse when I first complained about this. Most people don't realise how fragile rabbits are and how moving them around a lot is a upsetting for them.
