attach a secure run to their hutch.

Are your buns allowed loose in the garden or do you have a secure rabbit run they can go in (may be attach it to a hutch) I usually let mine exercise in two rabbit runs joined securely together so that I can pop indoors and leave them for a while. If they are loose, perhaps have a water spray handy for the cats when they come in the garden to "scare" them away or maybe you'll have to supervise your bunnies constantly. Not sure how else you can keep cats out though, someone else will hopefully come along with some good ideas!!

You should always be with them when they are in the garden. Otherwise a fox may come and kill them. If you can't watch them, they should always be in a secure run on concrete. Runs on grass are not safe, as foxes can dig in very fast. And they can climb over 7 ft fences, so hardly any garden is safe. Plus there are birds of prey and magpies, which can attack rabbits.
