It's great bouncing ideas around isn't it! Pity we don't live next door to each other, we could REALLY be creative then!!!

We all need to live next door to each other and see how complicated you can make the tunnels and runs going through all the gardens thus getting the benefits of everyones' buns.

Would be difficult come vet time though

omg,how much fun would that be

Brilliant Brilliant Set up. Blimmin Lucky Buns.

I hope they remembered to say thankyou!

I bet when you brought them home you had no idea that they were going to take over!

How are they both doing since their spay?

your right Katie,i didnt think they would take over like they have and iam sure if hubbie knew,he would have put a big fat NO on it lol

there doing brilliant,ive picked snowflake up a few times and she hasnt gone for me or grunted so maybe she is going to get better,i just worry now they have access to go on the garden that i wont be picking them up as much,spike will let me stroke her but snowflake will just sniff my hand and walk away,also they dont go on the grass much now,they have a run around and they will just go back in the cage and sleep,is this normal? and has it got something to do with it getting colder and darker at nights? i do block it off at nights so they cant go on the garden,also spike has started to nibble me when she gets excited,is it an affection thing or just a "back off lady" thing and sometimes when i stroke her,i go from her nose to her head and when i put my hand on her nose to stroke her,she lifts her head up really firm,is this a "stroke me firmer mom" or "stop it,i dont want to be stroked mom" wow so many questions lol i know you ladies are fab at bunny talk,i was going to post another thread on this,may still do yet lol

Sounds to me that the are behaving like bunnies are supposed to. Wild buns will pop out of the burrow morning and eve, have a good old feed and run around and then pop off to the burrow for an afternoon sleep. I think that you should be really proud of yourself that they are able to behave so naturally. Its wonderful that they are free to make their own choices and have so much space.

Buns REALLY love nose rubs. Daisy will push his head into my hand as if to say - rub my nose rug my nose....dont worry about the rest of me, do the nose! I think she is telling you what she wants! How fabulous!

I dont think spike is telling you to back off with the nibbling, I think she is just communicating with you bless her.

So many buns just dont like to be picked up. Daisy lives in the house with us as you know - and picking him up is a nightmare. He is happy to be stroked but try and pick him up and he wont have it - so I dont think its an outdoor/indoor thing, its a bun thing! I think Snowflake is an independant woman!

ok,thank you Katie,should i keep the tunnels open at night,i can keep the first run open as its secure and i can put a lock on it so it wont open or is it best to keep it blocked off?

i love it when spike pushes her head on my hand,think its so cute and i keep telling her no when she nibbles but she doesnt listen but thats spike all over

Jelous????? much lol

I want that! :O
Gimmeeee!
What lucky buns..

thank you ladies,iam very pleased with it,everyone who has seen it,loves it

Oh I love the extension no 2 as well, the double tunnels look great no wonder the buns love it

Sorry only just seen your reply.

I think that you should block the tunnels off at night hun as they need to be safe at night from foxes etc. They have a fabulous hutch so it wont do them any harm to be shut in there at night or when you are not about.

ok,thank you Katie,i think the only danger is cats as our back garden is totally fenced off,its 6ft high (i dont think foxs can jump that much) but i do feel safer that there in the cage at night,so think i will block it off,specially now fireworks are starting to go off,they have been very spooked tonight over something

What a fabulous set-up! I absolutely love the pipes connecting all the bits. we have neighbours who did something similar, although they fashioned tubes out of chickenwire for their buns to use to get from A to B.

You do know foxes dig? That is how they get into most chicken pens.

i didnt know that

Foxes can also jump very high, one cleared our fence in one jump and it's not a small fence.



I've copied your idea about the pen, my second run has a door on it so I have used my trixie run and dismantled it to make a funny shape around the garden (to avoid my plants lol), and then buns now enjoy regular grass time too. Shame I can't put a lid on it but I figured they can only go in it whilst I'm at home and if a fox did appear, they have two tunnels as bolt holes to run down back to the saftey of their hutch and main run. Just hope they are smart enough to do that.

wow he should do that for a living.
i reckon bunnys for miles would want to live there it's fantastic.
