Fun in the sun...advice please

Hello All,

We are relocating to Norwich to a house with a garden and I am really looking forward to seeing little Hibby and Joey enjoying the sunshine this summer :D They will still be house bunnies but I want to be able to sit in the garden and watch them run and play. This is probably a very a stupid question :oops: but do I need to introduce them to the garden slowly because of grass consumption? I'm sure that is the right thing to do but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I think introducing them to grass is the same as introducing them to fresh veg ie. a little at a time. Just give them a few minutes to start with and then gradually build the time spent on the lawn up over a couple of weeks. They should be fine :D. I wouldn't put your buns on the lawn immediately though because you don't know if the previous owners have treated it with anything. Give it a few weeks to make sure the grass is clear of any chemicals.
 
You might also want to have a check what plants are growing in the garden as anything that is toxic for bunnies will need removing. Wild rabbits have a sense of what to and what not to eat, domestic rabbits however dont seem to care what they nibble on and so often will eat things they shouldnt :roll:
There are lists people can refer you to about safe and unsafe plant lists i would link to them but im using the internet on my phone atm so I cant copy and paste
 
Its not really in Norwich but Worlingham about 30 Mins from there. What vet do you use in the area?
