Rabbits

[venus89]

Daft question but last time I had rabbits I was a child.... if it's raining can they still go in the run or should they go back in their hutch?

[Mookins]

our rabbits got caught in rain numerous times but our run as a sheltered area, didnt ever leave them though once id realised and it was a heavy shower i would put them back in hutch, id it was a passing sprinkle they were fine

both have now recently passed to mixi :crying:

Thank you - ours has a sheltered area too so they can hide if they want too. I'm mindful of the big black cloud up in the sky and not sure if I should take them out of the run or not. Only had them 2 days!

:laughing: I am like a new mummy, keep looking out of the window to check they're ok! I'm out all day tomorrow and caught myself wondering if they would be OK without me :blush:
They're not fully grown but not babies. They lived in a barn with exposed sides, I don't know if they ever ran outside, I think they would have run in an inside run. But fresh air is no problem and they're absolutely loving the grass :)

:laughing: I hadn't thought about their feet! But they have the most adorable big fluffy feet so I think they'll be fine :D My cats absolutely loathe the rain - they'll sit and stare outside all mournfully when the weather's wet

dont forget to move the run round daily and get ya grass evenly nibbles, saving hoiking the moweer out;) :clapping: :D

I have a 'free range' rabbit he has the run of the garden ( and sometimes the house too ! )
Sometimes he seeks shelter if it rains ( he has free access to his hutch too ) and sometimes he just sits in the rain nibbling on the grass :rolleyes:

[venus89]

Definately moving the run, my grass is embarrasingly long!

I like the idea of a free range rabbit but I'm not sure the cats would.... plus we have dogs either side and there's a hole under the fence one side. Anyway, we've had them free in the house both days since we had them for a bit, to get them used to being with us, being handled etc, and being around the cats (one cat jealous, the other curious, but ran away when the rabbit came too close :rolleyes: )

My rabbit is definitely the boss ! The cats are terrified of him and he even chases the dog ! :laughing:

We had a rabbit :panic:

We acquire it, didn't know how old boy / girl ... well it was....... different :blush:

My neighbour rang me one day , it had got out and was hoping down the road :laughing: hubs was the only one who could get it back in its cage, with a broom up its bum ! nicely though, then he would thump all around the cage :laughing: hence we have only ever had 1 rabbit :D
