Hi All,
I dont come on here very often and post as i dont think i have the experience of you all but i follow with interest. But now its my turn with a problem and i'm hoping you bunny experts will be able to help.
I have a mini lop who have a huge purpose built hutch in the garden which sadly i cant move, if i could i would be able to solve the issue quickly (i think). I gained new neighbours in early may who have a large dog. I didn't work out initially what the problem was but my rabbit would suddenly freak out run around the hutch like mad, thump continually and he would do it so loudly i could hear it in the house. I tried to calm him down but he wouldn't be distracted from whatever was causing his distress.
Then one day when i looked out of an upstairs window i noticed that the neighbours dog is right at the fence, trying to dig underneath and generally making it quite clear he wants to get at the rabbit. And i'm sure my rabbit is reacting to this. More recently the dog has started barking at the fence which is definitely upsetting my rabbit.
I have spoken really politely with the new neighbours who aren't interested. And its causing me anxiety thinking my rabbit is in a constant state of fight or flight because of this dog. Our old neighbour had a dog but it didn't react to my rabbit like this.
Short of demolishing his little paradise i cant get him away from the boundary.
Can i put a sonic repellent in my garden to keep it away from the fence or would this effect the rabbit or does anyone have any other suggestions to help?
Thanks for reading.
