Summer&Skye
Mama Doe
Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this or has any advice... Summer seems to have 'gone off' the runaround pipe! Originally my runaround pipe went from hutch to run and came out onto a platform so not too steep as the hutch is above the run. This was all fine and the bunnies had no probs with it. Then a few weeks back, I made an old hutch into a shelter for the run and replaced the platform with this, and the pipe came out onto the floor so was a bit steeper, and although the bunnies were fine with it, when they came down it sounded like they were sliding down :shock: so I put steps up to the shelter roof and moved the pipe onto top of shelter... Hope u r following!! So I was thinking its less steep, should be much better for them... Skye used it straight away and after a bit of investigation she just uses it as she did before, however, Summer appears not to have used it since! That was on Monday and its now Friday. Obviously I'm not there all the time to see, but when Skye's out, she would usually be out and she never is. The other day Skye was out at tea time so I put their pellets outside as I do sometimes but Summer didn't go down, so I picked some dandelions, carrot tops etc to tempt her, but still no (Skye got a good feast that night!) I pretended I wanted to pick her up in the hutch as this usually makes her run straight down the tube, which she did but only half way where she stayed wedged til it was safe to back up :roll: Why do u think she suddenly has a problem? Has anyone else changed it and had issues? There should be no probs with the angle or anything, and obviously Skye is fine using it. She's not ill, she's eating fine etc in the hutch and is her normal self. Any ideas?? I'm worried I've made too many changes and made her anxious
