Hi everyone
I'd like some advice if you will re rabbit runs. My bunsters are currently in a big hutch in a 7x7 shed so they have a fair amount of space to run around in. However, I really like the idea of giving them an outdoor run so they can get to grass when they want. With the location of the shed in the corner of the garden I would need to give them a tunnel like runaround or zippi so they could get from the shed into the run.
So I have a couple of questions.
Firstly, could I attach a wide gauge wire mesh to the bottom of a run? I don't think they are diggers but I'm terrified they will dig their way out! Would the mesh be dangerous in any way? I want to be able to move the run about on the lawn so i don't want to sink the mesh under the grass if I can avoid it.
How predator proof are the tunnels like runaround or zippi, could a fox get in? I know they my bunsters safe in their shed at the mo and I'd be heart broken if something were to get to them through the hole in the wall or tunnel I would need to add for the run.
Do your rabbits have access to a grass run 24/7 or do you shut them in at night or when you are out?
Our cat is so used to the buns that she just ignores them but I have caught next doors cat sitting on top of the wooden run I put them out in sometimes. If a cat is stalking them when I'm not around will they freak out or go into stasis or anything like that?
Thanks!
