Oh dearI’ve never trusted a rabbit with a carpet to be honest, this is how I imagine the results would be every time!
don't say that. We've been saving for ages for a carpet for J&B's room

Ours have always generally been ok with carpet although Snowy loved digging the corners so we just put small tiles in every corner so she couldn't.
Although Phillip pulled up a 2p size patch in our brand new carpet last month which my husband still hasn't noticed as I patched it with a free sample of the same carpet :lol: :lol:

LOL :lol:
she's been moved outside!
been meaning to reattempt the bonding with Pepper for ages so I spent today partitioning his shed & put her in there a couple of hrs ago. kind of a forced bonding - although they can't get at each other atm. i'm not confident of a successful bond though.

I hate to add to the chorus but I'd be surprised if they didn't rip it up a bit. Or at least try to.
I swear I'm not on commission from them, but I have to mention once again the stoense rugs from IKEA. Very much like carpet and very soft. I got two for £35 each. Each one is 195cm x 133cm. Amazing quality for the price and I've had so many compliments on them. Can also get them in smaller sizes and in different colours. Fudgie and Snoops have tried given them a battering and they're holding up pretty well against the onslaught.
I just thought I'd mention it as an alternative. I imagine it might be pretty annoying to spend a lot of money on some lovely carpeting only to have it ripped up within a week. If the bunnies really go to town, the rugs would be a lot easier and cheaper to replace.
Oh and top tip! If you do get them, don't do what I did and try and lug two of them home on the bus by yourself in the rain. Well, it was actually three buses...

We're on bare floorboards so we need carpet. I was all for getting that grass patterned Lino but OH is insistent on bedroom carpet. If Rudey continues to make progress with piddling in the tray I might look at one for lounge. At last rented house Joey Boo & Mouse were on carpet & it survived save for one tiny corner. That said Joey & Boo are a bit ferral these days
That's why we have only laminate floors, the two bedrooms carpet was bunny destroyed.:lol:

I dunno which one I got my Mum ages ago, but it's an IKEA rug and she loves it. I'm very much taken by IKEA rugs, I have to say
Very good value as well!While we're renovating the house, I have DECISIONS to make: do I carpet the office/spare bedroom? That's the bunny room should they ever need to be housed indoors (guests would by then be required to use the attic, which is our 3rd bedroom, soon to be second gaming room). I'm not so fussed what everywhere else is, even if they're freerange while we're home, but I'm not sure if I should go back to floorboards and rugs (I'd love to do this in our bedroom but we don't have floorboards :'( Just big, slightly warped ply sheets) or get the same sort of hardwearing carpet I want for the attic, this sort of thing: https://www.carpetright.co.uk/carpets/auckland-berber-loop-pile-plain-carpet.
Mike, at least she's done a proper consistent job, can;t say she isn't a good anti-carpeter, right?! ;P
