    My buns are thumping lots at night once I've shut them away :( help

    Yeh, I'm pretty sure mine thump out of protest too!! They seem to do it after they've been put away. I've never seen a fox in our old garden or at new house yet... What's a fox watch??

I'm not sure yet whether I'm going to move their old shed or invest in a new one... Both for looks (for my husband!!) and...

    Shed advice and recommendations.

    I actually got a second hand shed free from my sister, they come up on freecycle quite a lot. My husband is pretty handy with DIY so I can do this kind of thing. He raised the shed using both blocks bad wooden planks to keep it off the ground to stop it rotting. It is a couple of inches off the...

    not enough veggies :(

    Rabbits must have hay (or grass) as the majority of their diet, like 90% so you must provide this for them. If I run out of hay, even for a day I can instantly tell the difference in my buns, especially by the poo they produce!!! If nowhere near you does good enough hay then you can easily buy...

    In or out?

    I'm glad I brought my boys in as fence panels have come down and smashed into the run and the shed. Luckily the shed seems to be fine but I'm so glad they weren't in it. They've had a sleep over with free range of our spare room which they braved up enough to explore now. If wind is going to...
