So I let Lulu run free in my bedroom (as opposed to the hallway) yesterday and she adored it. She loved zooming around on the rugs, hiding under the dressers, ect. When I put her back into her cage she was so unhappy. She sat there on her hindlegs starring through the bars.

So it got me thinking...does she really need to be locked in the cage? Shes good with her litterpan (has never once peed outside it, and usually really good with her poops too). So far she doesnt seem to be that distructive.

I was hoping to get some thoughts from people who dont lock their bunnies in cages ever. Do you feel comfortable leaving them alone at home? What about at night when you are asleep? Its a little scary just diving into this whole free range thing. I think the first time I leave her home would be nerve wracking.

Also, do you think its okay for her to go under my bed? It made my a litttle nervous, but i'm not all that sure why. So basically how do your bunnies do roaming free in the house when you arnt there?

Also, did you guys keep your cages for the bunnies or move towards a more dog like set up? I was hoping I could leave her carrier open with a bed in it if she wants to sleep, have food and water bowls out and a littter box. The cage is pretty ugly and bulky. 

My rabbits do not have free-roaming privileges but I bunny-proofed my patio and one room plus hall way where they can spend the daytime. When I'm out or during the night they are in a condo. I have 1 rabbit who isn't bonded to my other 3 and he is living in the room right now. I use a crate for my things that I don't want him to wreck and to attach his water bottle to and hay rack. It depends on your situation, Jessie, if you live alone, or if other members in your household can be trained not to leave expensive equipment sitting around, if you have other pets, how many rabbits in total etc.
If I lived by myself with just 1 rabbit you bet he would be free 24/7.

I live on the 2nd floor of a house. I let my two run around when I'm home, but I put them into their cage at night or when I'm not going to be home. They get into way too much trouble when I'm not here. One of them is especilly naughty and I come home finding her chewing things she shouldn't be or stuck behind the dresser. In an attempt to get under the bed, she wiggled herself behind the dresser, but she got stuck! She was traumatized when I found her.. I have no idea how long she was like that. I didn't think she could squeeze behind there. Or that she would.

We also have a lot of other people living in the house, and a dog.. so free-range isn't a viable option. If I lived totally by myself with no dog, I might think about trying to religious bunny-proof everything.. but until then: No on the 24/7 free range
