Some of you may recall that I have 2 baby buns that I am (attempting!) to make free-run house buns long-term.
Any-ho! There was I doing the "softly-softly" approach and extending supervised "run area" bit by bit (as not yet properly "litter trained") when (not at all excited by new arrivals mind!) OH intervened this evening: "That's all well and good but they need to have space to run don't they? - PROPER space like a room at least if inside as surely they'd have loads of space in the wild..." I DID explain that they may wee and poo if not litter trained all about if not "bit by bit" plan..."YEAH!" says he "THAT'S what animals do - they WILL make a mess...let them run about and we'll clean it up - I'm thinking they need stretch their legs more than an inside run..."
...GOOD enough for me!:lol: They have been LEAPING like things possessed since 9pm and are still at it now! To date NO wee and only a few poos (they seem to keep "popping into open hutch" for drinks/eats and most poos.) What is most cute is if any of us enter room they come running and follow us about!!!:lol::lol::lol:
Hmmm...I am thinking this "making rabbits house buns" me larky isn't as hard as I imagined. IF they continue this way (and only do a few poos outside hutch) may very well let them into the lounge for a run too in the next few days!
TP - PLEASED!!!
