As some of you will know I had to have my gorgeous Frangipan put to sleep last week. She was part of a trio who had to be brought inside when Fran got sick. Violet and Zippy are now outside permanently in my neighbour's garden (due to them having building work done the other side of my buns' home here).
They have a run and a hutch connected with a runaround tunnel but are choosing to stay in the hutch for most of the time. I don't get it. The hutch has their litter trays in and pellets but I am putting their forage in their run and they have even left dandelion leaves. They are eating their pellets but don't get many. It is hot but they have a cover over part of the run so have access to shade.
If they were confined to this hutch they would be like loads of poor bunnies stuck at the bottom of gardens but they aren't, yet they are choosing to stay in a small space. I very rarely see them in the run and my neighbour's children asked why they are always in the hutch. The children are at school all day and were away all weekend and are very quiet and respectful around the bunnies and can't access them without adult supervision as the cover is too heavy so I don't think the buns are scared of the children.
I don't understand why they have suddenly developed agoraphobia. They were doing this before Fran died too. She was in the run more than they were.
