I suspect there is always the possibility that he would jump in...
Those octaganol runs you could put around the pond? Then he wouldnt be able too

I would def make sure he cant get near pond - some years ago my niece's rabbit drowned in their pond as he managed to get out of his hutch during the night and got in there somehow. He couldnt get back out as the sides were sloped.
If possible, I would go with the suggestion of surrounding pond or covering it with mesh if you can.
Good luck with it!

As long as there is an area where he can get out (which you should have anyway for hedgehogs) then I wouldn't worry. Rabbits can 'swim' if necessary so he should get himself out. The getting out area should be a bank/slop that is level with or below the water level so they can climb/walk on to it.

Doh! Lol thanks.
I might actually surround his hutch with chicken wire, that way he can run about all the time.
ETA: Just read on another post that chicken wire breaks easily, so ill go ahead with that pond and fence instead.
