I have a 14 week old French Lop called George. I bought him from a companion pet hobbyist breeder as a house rabbit.
George has the indoor cage pictured below as a base. He sleeps in there at night and goes in there when we are out. I am lucky enough to only work part time 3 days a week, and my husband works shifts so is often at home when I'm not so George gets out in his 6ft square run in the garden for part of every day, (weather permiting) and the rest of the time he is free range in the house with us.
However, I am very aware that soon the indoor cage I have will not be big enough to put a French Lop in at night etc, and just wondered if anybody has their bunnies living completely free range, just with a basket for sleeping in and a litter tray and hay rack etc.
George has been wonderful and is so tame and loves being with us. We have bunny proofed the house as far as we can, wires covered etc, but he still has the occasional chew at something depending on his mood. When we're there, a clap of the hands and giving him something to distract him works fine, but I can't imagine leaving him alone for any length of time without him destroying something.
Has that time ever come for any of you?
I have alreday thought about getting one of the pens that you can make very big out of pannels and just using that when we are out of the house. Also when he's too big for his indoor cage he can have free run of the conservatory in the winter (too hot in the summer) and the kitchen in the winter.
Just wondered if anyones buns live completely free range. Thanks for your help Here's his indoor base at the moment.
