Am I just weird? (Checking the hutch)

Before I shut the rabbits in the hutch I have to check the sleeping area for cats. :shock:

I've never found a cat in the hutch but if I don't check I can't stop worrying and I have to go back to make sure.
 
I check for spiders - I have no idea if rabbits bother about spiders, but there's no way I could sleep with one in my bedroom, urgh!

I check too!! But then, I'm paranoid!! :lol:
 
If theres a chance some animal could have got in then I think its good to check. Spiders though? I would be happy of a spider was living with my buns. Reduce the risk of fly strike ;)
 
If Bramble has been free ranging and his hutch door was left open, I check there are no cats in there before he goes back in.
 
I always check for cats too. But then I have cats, and they like to sleep in the hutches! In fact Salem was having a little snooze in there this afternoon! :lol:
 
You aren't strange, my cat was sat in the piggy hutch once... with the piggies inside! :oops: Also my friend's cat likes to sleep in their piggy hutch, when the pigs are out though! :lol:

That is a bit strange. Any reason?

The only thing I can think is that my first rabbit Lopsie free ranged most of the day in a huge garden. One day a fox chased him into his hutch. I heard some weird noises and ran out. I scared the fox and it jumped out of the hutch and scarpered. I was just in time as it had actually began to bit Lopsie. He had four small incisions on his back, but he was so scared I knew taking him to the vets would make it worse. I cleaned him up with salt water but he wouldn't calm down. In the end I had to give him chocolate to calm him down. It was horrible.

But I just always imagine that there's a cat sleeping in their sleeping area... even though cats don't come into our garden.
 
we have 3-4 cats that prowl round the hutch and run area im forever paranoid that they will pull a baby bun through the bars although they wont fit through...
i understand your worry we all worry so much about different things when it comes to our furry friends
 
I used to find my first rabbit cwtched up in her hutch with one of the neighbourhood cats! :lol: I used to have to check!
