Young Bun
Anybody have any ideas how to keep cats away???
heres the situation, i've always liked my bunny's to be free range in the garden, they have a large uncovered run in the garden made out of picket fencing, inside this run is their hutch. They get locked in the hutch at night time only, first thing in the morning they come out into the run and can come in and out of the hutch as they please, when we are at home we open the gate to their run and then they can have the whole run of the garden.
However the last few weeks a neighbours cat has been coming in the garden and chasing the buns, as soon as i hear it i have been spraying it with a water gun and even thrown water bombs at it, and it still comes back! Im pretty sure this is is the reason why bubs broke her front leg, the cat spooked her and only having one good leg she tried to run too fast putting too much strain on her little leg
We are a mid terrace house so have neighbours fences on either side, the cat keeps coming over the back fence and pretty sure it wont go in either neighbours gardens to climb over as they both have a cat (both cats get on really well with the bunnies and dont bother with them) so im trying to think of something i can do or attatch to the back fence and gate to deter it but cant think what??
Im worried that the cat is going to get into the run while im at work. I might try and find some sort of netting to go over the run but its such a big run approx 2m x 6m that its going to a hard job, plus then i couldnt get to the hutch!
Plus i cant use chemicals or the noise scarers because of the buns (and next doors cats) if anyone has any ideas i would appreciate it :thumb:
