Jumping and safety

A few times yesterday and today Miffy jumped onto the top of the run (fine) and then onto the roof of the hutch :shock: and totally freaked us all out.

It is about 3'6" off the ground at the apex - we got her down safely each time and have tried to discourage her but will I have to block off the way as I fear it is too high for a rabbit to jump from??

Is it dangerous for her?

Fluffy looks on as if she is bonkers - which she is a bit

I think some of them are daft enough to jump onto something high and then it's much more dangerous to come back down again.

Tinks is a devil for that - you need eyes in the back of your head. She jumped on top of a fish tank once - about 4 ft off the ground - thank god there was a lid on and I was in the room at the time :shock::shock: I keep her in a high sided pen now for peace of mind :roll:

I'd be inclinded to block it off especially if she's ever in there unsupervised, but I tend to be a bit over-protective, someone with more experience may say she will be okay.

depends on the rabbit. Penny is my most frail, Buster's just clumsy I wouldn't like to see either of them jump from that height. On the other hand my other four are very agile and it wouldn't be a problem for them. Ellie jumps up 4 feet never mind down.

Thank you for your replies.

I will keep a close eye on her - we are going to get some more 'ground' toys today and mock up some low down climbing fun to encourage play at a sensible level :lol:
