Introducing Tulip Tuesday

Genuine question how do you round them up at night? If Maple was out there she would end up being a wild bun there's no way Id catch her :lol:

yes, it's so difficult.
mainly timing (the exact right time of the evening, currently 9pm) and patience, very slowly herding them towards the shed one step at a time careful to avoid spooking them.
2 nights ago was a nightmare as I left it till 9.30pm. it took over 1/2hr and it was dark before they went in. I was getting a bit cross but was careful to hide it.

previous buns (Radish&SPG / Chester&Poppy) have gone in by themselves in the evening , waiting for their pellets.
when it was Pepper & Poppy pairing it was slightly more difficult, but the Pepper & Tulip pairing is a nightmare. They would much rather stay out than have their pellets.

it would be impossible to catch them. when it's a vet day I leave them shut in the shed until an hr before vet time and (with difficulty) get them in a crate while in the shed.

I cannot imagine chasing them around your beautiful yard/garden. Good for you for keeping your cool.

I tell them what I think of them as I close the shed door on them - either 'good bunnies' or (like the other night) 'bad bunnies'
