Spent all weekend securing the buns' new run and installing a cat-flap.
I anticipated it may take some time for them to use the cat-flap, so I am leaving it propped open for a while. But the problem seems to be that none of them will venture outside!
They've stuck their noses out a few times, but none of them have used the run yet and they seem much more contented to stay in the shed .
They are quite nervous buns and don't like being picked up (the does won't even let me stroke them). I guess they feel safer inside. I'm wondering if there's anyway I can encourage them to use their run that doesn't involve physical force, or has all my hard work gone to waste!
