How high can your bunny jump?

I ask because I have Castle which just fits under my run at 62cm high.

Put Stu in while changing hay and stuff cover off run, and generally trying to remember what goes in the run
Check list Rabbit, hay, food, water, treat, I walk about a mile back and forward with one thing in my hand at a time :lol:, half asleep :shock: at 1pm:shock:

Heard a scramble as I turned back to the garden to find Stu holding onto the castle top, he had jumped up and was scrambling his fat little bum to climb into the castle.

If he was clever he would have tried the other side and got out of the run:lol::lol:

They do 2ft 4 fairly easily, although its usually enough to deter them for short periods of time unless they particularly want to get over the other side. Once B leapt from the floor to the back of the sofa in one go, was probably 3ft high.

Is that correx you've got on top of the run?

Strawbs has cleared 3ft in the past. He has also jumped down from 7ft after climbing ontop of our garden fence.

if he goes for it buckley can jump up to our chest of drawers which is chest height for me (I'm 5'6). usually he wont unless there's something he wants up there though.

Most of mine will not attempt a 3' fence, but the odd one would not be kept in by 4'. All could clear 2' if they wanted, although they don't normally bother if they think have enough room.

I think that is what it is, used to be on a conservatory roof, lifted from my sisters, wire on left hand section then the 'perspex' (keeps the castle dry) and on the other end so i can get in and sit in there with him in the summer :roll: couple of wall trellises and hardboard covered with a blanket and bricks, so they dont get wet and droop, plus that's where the cats lie in the Sun.

If it is just a run, put a roof on it. 2-3' would be fine then for small-medium sized rabbits. Also keeps the cats out.
