would you rather keep your rabbits on....

just wondering

Ideally grass, but as mine r diggers and its a communal garden dont have much option

floppynzele · Nov 2, 2006

i think grass is better, as it gives the rabbits the oppertuinity to graze all day.
but concerete is quite good to wear down their claws, so both would be ideal.

If I was rish and building enclosures I'd have a concret floor with cutouts with grass in... the best of both worlds.... though probably a pain to clean :lol:

I say concrete - I think I am moving my playhouse off grass onto concrete on the weekend because I am ruining my garden with the cold wet weather. I will want to let the buns out on grass but concrete is more convenient for the winter

You may need to keep an eye on their feet. Rexes are prone to sore hocks and grass is softer than concrete

Might not be a problem - depends on the bunny

I have 2 on concrete and one on grass. I voted concrete as the grass has all been eaten anyway and gets all muddy its also more difficult to clean!

the run is on concrete for malibu because she just digs up the garden, but she still goes on the grass everyday when she is let out of her run. she doesnt dig when she isnt in the run :roll:

trip and scarlett go on both when they are in the run. I put it half over the grass and half over the concrete

I personally prefer concrete from my point of view. Easy to wash down/sweep up and clean.

From the buns point of view, it'd prob be the grass

Willow_Warren · Nov 2, 2006

Mine are based on concrete, mainly because it is easier to keep it clean, and the hutches are too heavy for me to move on my own and they would soon ruin just one bit of grass. However they have a portable run that goes on the grass. Having a portable run on the grass means they can get a new bit of grass each day. However they've never managed to eat enough grass to relieve the need to mow the lawn!

SarahP · Nov 2, 2006

I voted concrete as:

- grass doesn't last long, so better to have a separate run on grass that they have access to other times.
- they can dig out of grass
- foxes can dig in on grass
- becomes a muddy mess!

I voted grass for the buns but concrete is better for me. Mine are on concrete.

Mine are on concrete,as it's easier to clean, and doesn't get too muddy. They do have a PWS run on the grass though, so the have the best of both worlds, I guess.

cavysrock · Nov 2, 2006

ok, it's just that in my new house there is alot of grass and a small patio and i was wondering

TheGaffer · Nov 2, 2006

Neither. My 5 all live in the house. But if I had to have buns outside, I would prefer concrete.

If the bunny is a rex, concrete is too hard on their feet

Steph · Nov 5, 2006

Mine are on concrete and seem very happy. They have readi grass everyday and a big run. I did have grass at one stage but with three dogs it didnt last. Its all gravelled now and the buns are on one of the patios and very content

Grass - but only because they are rexes and Piper is prone to sore hocks.
