What does everyone think about the little harnesses u get for rabbits?
I like to let H&H out in the garden evryday for a while, but the fences at either side are only 3 strands of wire about 1/2 a ft aprt, and open onto other people's gardens. it's a council property, and communal, so I can't alter the fences. One lady who bought her house has put up a solid fence on her part, which backs onto mine closest to where I have the hutches. To begin with they just styed in that end and that's fine, but lately Harly's taken to bounding right off into the neighbours garden, and I have a job catching him. I've been tempting him with food then catching him, but he's got wise to that now. yesterday I only got him cuz he got stuck under their tree , but it worries me as they have a cat which is quite predatory, and next door to that again there's a dog. When they were down in the bottom end, I could catch them as soon as I heard the cats bell, but that's more difficult now. So I thought if I got some of the little harnesses and some of the dog's leads which extend really long, they could still have their freedom in the garden, but if they stravyed too far or the cat came I could get them up quick. What does everyone think? Obviosuly they would still get access to there run most of the day without them on, so it's not like the only time they got out of their hutch would be on harness.
