I cant stop thinking about this.
Since I moved last September my buns have been living in a shed and avairy.
Its large and I know they are lucky compared to some other buns BUT I cant let them out to free-range. My garden is big and its just not viable to rabbit proof it also I worry about foxes etc and their safety - our gate leads onto a main road..
Im having massive pangs of guilt though as I worry about them seeing the same 4 walls all day every day and they never run or graze on grass as the avairy is on concrete. At my old house the buns were house buns and used to dash about the house, I used to let them out in the garden supervised and Sooty and Oreo loved it - had massive sprints and binkies and I just dont get that now Charlie has the occasional mad moment with binkies and I know they are all happy - constantly playing and flopping etc but I just worry about the exercise and they are not doing what bunnies do!!
I have thought about getting several puppy pen panals to put round the grass so I can open the avairy door and they run into the grass area? If I pen round the edge of the grass?? (minus the drain pipe :lol
Do you think this is a good idea? and will only let them out when im home and in the pen with them..I have also found one that is 4 ft high so they cant jump out easily or am I just being silly?
I dont know whether im explaining myself well, I just feel like im confining them .. this is a little video of oreo in my old garden going where he wants an having a nice hop about.
