Jenny Jump
Warren Scout
4 weeks ago we lost one of our bonded Dutch rabbits to a savage cat attack. As a gut reaction her sister came to live in the house with us, because I could not think of her being alone and afraid in the garden. This way she also gets more time out of her hutch, because, at the moment there is no way rabbits can safely play unsupervised. We think the cat is getting 're-homed soon, so it should get safer. There are few cats locally, foxes are more of an issue, but our buns were always shut safely in their hutch at night. We kept rabbits this way for 15 years without any problem.
Anyway, we are all feeling better now and last night we had a family discussion about the best way forward. Basically we have different opinions, Jenny to stay a house rabbit (single), or to move her back to the garden in the spring and try to find a husband for her so that she will not be lonely during the hours we are not in the garden.
I am keen to do the best for Jenny. She will be 7 this summer and does not have on going health issues. Do you think she will still feel territorial about her outdoor hutch and garden in a few months time? She seems okay about being a house rabbit, at first she was very quiet, but now she is getting more adventurous and energetic.
