Are rabbits meant to be able to climb?

...because my two have learnt how to!!

They leap at the NIC wall and then use all 4 of their legs to get up the last half of the NIC grid......

Needless to say, they have a sheet to stop further escapes!!
 
Archie has a tendency to jump and kind of scramble up railings and such. I'm always terrified he'll rip out a nail plus it means having eyes in the back of my head! :lol:
 
:lol: mine do that too, sometimes I'll go into the back room and Zero will just be clinging to the side of the run halfway up, like Spiderman :shock::lol:
 
When my boys first went out into the aviary I caught Blackberry and dandelion several feet up the wire netting, and trying to climb higher :shock::shock::shock:

I've seen a 3 month old nethie climb up wire mesh to get out of a run too.
 
I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I had a bunny I was bonding who 'climbed' out of one of the garage runs.

And, you know delightful Marmite? He 'climbed' out of a run in the orchard.

i watched ruby climb the side of the run today :?

also when i used to have NIC setups mine always climbed out :lol:
 
Pearl could climb too.. she was a terror for getting out of the pen when she thought she could get to the food quicker than alvin :lol::lol::lol:

miss my angel :cry:
 
Yep Paddy does :wave: He escaped over a 3 nic grid high wall into Jose and Rainbows pen (needless to say, all hell broke loose!), and so ever since then we've had to peg a quilt cover over the top :roll:

No!! Haha.

At least mine are inside so I don't have to worry about them going 'astray' !! Goodness me.

Bunnies are taking in traits of hedgehogs!! :p
 
Yup, I've got a couple of climbers too. They never actually get a chance to go anywhere though because all they meet is a lid. :lol:
