Hi,
My summer house which houses by two bunnygirls is almost falling apart. They have a large Lavender Lodge inside the summer house (8ft x 2ft x 2ft) which they have wintered in. I need to pull the summer house down. When they are let out to run around my large garden, they know to run back to 'home' when something scares them or are startled by noise.
I have just purchased a Chicken Coop and Run from B&Q (worth looking at if anyone is interested). I am going to convert the door with a wesh and put in another mesh window

The run will be able to be fixed properly in place. http://http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?isSearch=true&isYmal=true&fh_search=5019804149810
My question is how to I manage the transition. My two bunnygirls have lived together for about 3 years and know the garden layout very well. Should I simply put them in the new residence and let them out as usual and herd them back to the 'new place' when it is time to go in? Or should I do a halfway house scenario. I worry this would confuse them. They are out in the garden 3-4 times a day and only go in when I need to be away from them. They are never left alone in the garden as a neighbours cat killed my last bunny. I don't want to distress them when I rip the summer house down.
Thanks Jackie
