I don't feel too bad about taking down my rabbit pen like I did because of a weasel. Today the black flies have emerged and it would be cruel for anybun to be outdoors. |

Well, at least we have our patios still! Keep in mind that being on grass can also cause a rabbit to get flea-infested, on a patio this can't happen.  |

oh, I see. I am not aware that weed killer spreads unless you tread it around by walking on the treated area and then walking in their pens. Maybe someone will know if weed killer spreads underground. You could post that question on here in another section, maybe diet and care. My weasel is REALLY hard to get! I am starting to realize I'm fighting a losing battle since this is surely not the only weasel here. I think I'll just go with patio plus two dogs to keep the weasels at bay. |

darn weasel! sorry it hasn't worked out for the buns, it was such a great idea, but I bet they'll enjoy the patio. |

My Bunny Burrow is full! Pringles & Toby, Daisy & Lola, and my senior citizens Hershey & Simba. The piggies are back, add Brownie and Sweetpea to the mix. |

ask in diet & care because it is important to know if it spreads. who knows, they make all kinds of nasty chemicals with unlikely abilities... check with your dad to know exactly where he sprayed the weed killer. Or ask him what product he used and I will email the company for you to ask them if it spreads. don't feel bad for me! It was a great test run -- imagine if I hadn't seen that weasel, he may have come into my basement window that was unprotected at the time and surely taken a rabbit from me. |

I think you can post the brand there. Each brand might work differently so it really is important info. |

I know we use an animal safe furtilizer, can't remember the name, but i think 'lawn pro' or someone makes it. I still won't put bunnies out there if it hasn't rained real well afterwards or if i can see anything. |

i got a idea. we are thinking of moving in a few years and i have this idea on how my bed wont be in the way of my bunny's space. have you ever herd of a loft bed? i used to have one at our old house but our ceiling is to low at this house so i can't have one. any was i was thinking i could cage it in underneath and it could be there cage. i made this drawing on windows paint so it isn't very good but this is what i meant.

Not weird at all Moc ! It's a good use of space. My only concern would be for when you're feeling sick. Imagine being up that high when you're all woozy! Maybe you could sleep on a temporary bed when sick. Anyway, I like how you're thinking ahead for your rabbits future indoor habitat. They are well and truly indoor bunnies now!  |

When I was renting a basement suite when I was younger, I had a loft bed and my dog's huge crate fit underneath it where she slept. I loved this set-up. It was such a space safer. It could work very well with a rabbit habitat if you put some thought into how to make it low on noise. I love your drawing! |

Mocha: neat idea! You wouldn't even have to have it very tall! Even a loft bed about 4 feet off the ground would allow for a condo with multiple levels underneath! |

This is a pretty cool set-up! If you google images of "loft beds" you get all kinds of neat pics! |

well here is the thing. we might be moving to a lake front property that has a trailer house so we would build a bunk house for me and my sister to sleep in until we build a house. so once we build the house i could have a room inside to. so i just have to decide were i would sleep, with the buns or in the house. i have had a bunk bed before and when i got sick i would put the mattress on the floor. would having the buns in a bunk house be bad?

Lulu and Mocha won't care if they are in a bunkhouse or whatever type building, as long as they don't get too hot. If this is in a hot climate you might have to take measures to keep them cool as a bunkhouse wouldn't be air-conditioned. You can do it, though. |

it will be a little colder then were we are right now. i think they will be fine to. it will be built for a human to live in it, so it should be good. |

HMM> Thinking I want to build Lily a hidy house, kinda like a hutch style for in our bedroom & one for in the living room! Right now she sleeps under our night stand. And when we are in the living room she's on our chairs or in her corner area. But was wondering if she'd even use them? Maybe I should try card board box's first to see? Any suggestions?! |

| Laura & I am Lily's mom! Is it 6:00 yet cause I am missing my bunny! |
