I thought you might like to see my unusual run. It was actually my husband's idea (which I dismissed at first) and it has turned out to be very good!!
Yes, it is under a 10ft trampoline!!

The rabbits do not even mind the children jumping on the trampoline, and it has solved the problem of the grass growing too fast underneath!

Here is a photo of Maisie and Bramble, with Bramble in his favourite place (the sandpit!).

This is Bluebell and Blackberry posing!

And another one (notice they both have the same poses!).

Unfortunately I can't get Maisie and Bramble to pose, as they are usually too busy eating!!

Yes, they all have great fun, and I have even seen Bluebell go mad and leap about (I don't think she thinks it is a very ladylike thing to do)!!

I have had a few problems with my escapees though (Maisie and Bramble, of course)!! Bramble has even been on the front drive but my neighbours shooed him back, and thankfully he is easy to catch.
They are all much happier with loads of space, and I have now ordered some more panels so that I can have 2 big runs (no room for 2 trampolines though!).

I am hoping that if they have a nice big run, then Maisie will be less inclined to dig big holes!! Any tips for hiding holes in grass from husband??!! I can't put loads of plant pots all over the lawn to try to cover up the holes!!! :lol:

Try big storage crates filled with soil then they might dig those instead. Move them around regularly though or the grass will die underneath.

The run looks great!

Is it Bluebell or Blackberry with the white nose? Whichever it is he is absolutely gorgeous.

It is so nice to see them all happy together, particuarly when Maisie and Bramble took so long to descide that they really did like each other. It makes it all worthwhile

The rabbits in the photo are actually Maisie and Bramble. Bramble is in the litter tray and Maisie is lying down outside.

Good idea Tamsin, using storage crates filled with soil. I will test them soon (need to keep hubby happy!).

Thanks Adele!
Actually it was my husband's idea (although don't tell him he occassionally has good ideas!). The only time it it has a drawback is when I have to try and catch them if they are being naughty! I then end up crawling around!! :lol: :lol:

Luckily most of the time they are very good and just hop into their carriers (except Maisie, who I have to crawl after).
