I have read many threads on this forum and have also searched the web prior to getting my buns...much thought later and I have concluded that outside buns aren't for me. This is no "diss" in the world to those of you who DO keep your buns outside, just not thinking it's right for me.
I have been pondering for a while and have concluded that, being as my kitchen/diner and ajoining hallway have laminate flooring (unlike the spare room that I had originally thought a good "run room" for them) with no accessible wires etc., it would be nice if I aimed for my buns to be "free run" house buns in that area (until they are litter trained at least).
I obviously have a long road ahead before my young buns-to-be are good "not going to wee all over my lounge carpet" buns, but I am thinking (being that I have the means to do it) I would rather them be house rabbits so that I can cast a beady eye over them at will...
I will go ahead with my outdoor cage extension when they are bigger as that will offer a good safe "play area" on dry days with a run attached, but I've changed my mind - they're not going to go live in it after all.
*Be prepared for possible additional threads on house rabbits in the future - not kept a rabbit indoors before and may call on your help if I run into problems*
All the best,
TP
