Wise Old Thumper
We can see the lawn from the house, from where Matt was boardgaming: I was in the front room reading a textbook. No-bun was on the lawn for a while (they were sleeping in the hutch when I'd last seen them, when I was hanging the washing out, and that's right against the house wall) so Matt went out to chide them for not doing their job. The tube was out of the bottom of the hutch :shock: Lopsy was still inside, but Aboleth was nowhere to be seen! She hopped out from one of the paths up the garden, then had a hop around to the playhouse, then Matt opened the other hutch door and she went back inside! No idea what she ate while she was out (she's a notorious 'trier' :S) but everything was fine yesterday and this morning
The tube connection into the hutch from the lawn is not the sturdiest of things: because we only let them out onto the lawn when we're watching, the tube is just connected by wire ties (through a spare piece of mesh as a hole-coverer), one of which was broken and so it must have snapped with the force of rabbits running through the tunnel! Oh well, no harm (apparently) done!
We have considered letting them out to freerange but our biggest concerns with that are a.) if they get scared the wall into the canal is very small (8-12"), easily cleared by a fleeing bunny, although they're not stupid enough (even Lopsy ;P) to just jump over it without looking first when not fleeing, and b.) getting the little darlings back in!
