I get mine back in the hutch with bribery - some carrot chunks and curly kale, however, it doesn't always work and sometimes I have 10 mins of chasing them round :lol:

Bungle had been free ranging inside yesterday. My OH managed to lure him into his pen with some carrot then just as he turned his back to grab the pegs to attach the netting he jumped out and legged it! I am sure I could hear him laughing as he went!

well i managed to get him out from underneath the wooden planter where he'd decided was his den only for him to scarper behind the green bin (which is full from today!) and a dismantled basketball net.

i can't just leave the back door open for him either as it leads to straight into the kitchen and that's esme's pad. i have to catch him to pick him up and that's quite a challenge. it wasn't meant to be like this:roll:

did make me laugh tho seeing OH charging around the garden waving his jacket - never realised nethies could outrun matadors too:lol:
