Does anyone else the has a hutch on top of a run have problems with their rabbits throwing the food bowls down the ladder ? :evil: every morning i go out and the dish is on the floor so i have to take all the plants and plastic sheet of the top to go and fish it out ! :evil:

My first bunnies smashed loads of ceramic dishes doing that :lol:

My current bunnies don't have a food dish at all. Their pellets go in a treatball and their greens are scattered in the run... problem solved

OH NO!! Silly Buns!!

Maybe you could use a dish that attachs to the wiremesh on the doors might help.

Only problem is the treatball would end up down the hole too so i'd still be fishing :? Maybe I need to find a really heavy dogs bowl :shock:

quite expensive for a bowl but still good for what it is could probably find it cheaper if you look around though

The bowl in Ted and Dougal's hutch often ends up on the lower level, and on occasion has been aimed at my head!!!

Sometimes I do wonder... maybe they are trying to tell me something!

Yep, Barley has managed to break 2 bowls in the space of one week before, I think he just objects to it being empty!! :?

Dolly would never dream of doing such a think 8)

Even these will get thrown there is a better one which you need to drill a hole in the side of the cage, they come in lots of different sizes they look a little like these which would also possibly work. http://www.surreypetsupplies.co.uk/acatalog/Parrot_Coop_Cups.html The ones I have are slightly different. Have a look in some pet shops or garden centres which sell bird things

Silly buns!
Excel do a great feeder for pellets and hay which I've attached to the wall of our hutch. I'll try to find a picture. Our local P@H sell them.

Hahahaha!!! you do it and post photos! lol

I used to have a problem with her doing that, but she stopped soon enough - my problem is they chuck their towels down there - but its not so bad, I guess they just like sleeping on the ground floor compartment.
