Not wishing to be critical but the run is very exposed, having only mesh on all 4 sides. This will also offer no protection against the elements. We screwed a sheet of wood to one of our sides and in very bad weather I leaned another sheet of wood up, kind of in an L shape, which offered brilliant protection as they'd sit in the corner of the L out of the wind and rain. This also made them feel safer.
I would recommend that you put in at least one box on its side for your bunny to hide in and/or fix some wood on the run.
I would also recommend chasing the cat away by any means necessary.
do u ever leave ur rabbit unattended in run i would feel bad leave him in cage all day? im thinking get chicken wire put around cage maybe ? i dnt know cat ran of as soon as i banged on window
yes good idea i do feel it is very exposed myself this is why i worry! will b looking for wood or maybe i will just use tarpaulin stuff round it
no I have a cage due to me rescuing this bunny of the streets can look through previous thread he was wild for two months! He is in dog cage in my house safe I'm also very much English but I'm being lazy in my text speechBy "cage" do you mean hutch? I have no desire to insult you but are you English because I find your posts hard to read, particularly as you are using text speak (which isn't necessary on here).
Yes, unless your hutch is particularly large I wouldn't leave your bunny in it all day. My girls have access to their hutch which is inside a shed which also has a run attached to it, so they have lots of floor space to bounce about in. They are also allowed out into the garden 3-4 times a day (weather and time permitting) to free-range.
If you put chicken wire around the hutch so your bunny can come out then you need to make sure it is predator proof as normal chicken wire is very flimsy. Also your rabbit will jump out of it unless it is too tall - and if you make it high then it will be even weaker so you must ensure it's done correctly otherwise it will be a waste of time. Be aware that birds of prey will take a rabbit too, if the Raptor is big enough and your bunny is small enough; another reason to have a top on it. Cats can also jump over small fences and the last thing you want is that cat actually in the run/area with your rabbit as my money would, quite frankly, be on the cat.
I hope you are successful in getting rid of the cat.
