How much do you watch your buns when they're out free-ranging? Do you periodically check on them, or sit out with them?
Personally I wouldn't leave a rabbit/rabbits unsupervised in any garden, despite how "well behaved" they are - it's not always the rabbits you have to worry about being well-behaved!
They can't escape, there's no foxes in this area, and cats won't even walk along our fence because they're scared of my dog, plus he's really protective of them, so as long as I check on them every 30-45 mins, it's fine.
No offence or that but you asked the question but when someones offering you the feedback you dont want to hear your arguing?
Why ask in the first place?
Mine freerange on their own. I don't leave the house but I don't sit out with them.
Many disagree with me but its what works best for my bunnies. It means they can have a few hours a day at all times of the year.
I asked what people do, not for advice, it was out of interest, nothing else.
I sit out with mine, although I'll pop in to the loo or to grab a drink or something. I seriously doubt there is much risk at all from foxes during the day, but considering it would only take a second for a fox to nip over the fence and grab a bunny, I just won't risk it. Plus, one is Houdini and I like to make sure whichever pair is out doesn't antagonise the others as if they do one male shows refers aggression to his wife.
It's also very relaxing to sit out and watch them, I like it.
There were no foxes near me so I thought...until one attacked, killing one duck and imjuring the other. It was horrific. Bunsk is NEVER left on his own now.
