But in a totally formidable way   

Thank you usagi, he thinks very highly of himself, too.
 

I need cheering up...

Dere, Monkey sez weezil cant fitz.

I am not sure if this would work or not- but I know to keep dogs from digging they recommend using mothballs in the filled in hole.  Or what about (yes this is gross) cramming some dog poo (predator poo) in the hole before you finsih filling it up?  I would that would make it unpleasant and unsafe feeling.

I get why you are so worried- they seem like awful little destruction machines.  And if you have one- there could be more around.  I have never seen a weasel so I do not think they are common in my area.  My first reaction was that they are cute- but then thinking they could hurt the bunnies- I kinsa got into they all must die mind frame.

In the movie "Doc Hollywood" the lady character found hunters traps or something, and started peeing all over there hunting area, to scare the deere away.... What woudl yuor neighbours think of u squatting all over your yard? go over ok? LOL ... or maybe leave it to the dogs would b best :p

this thread is getting nastier...

the peeing all over the yard to mark up against them -- definitely a man's or a dog's job!

The more I dealt with the weasel problem the more I realized the futility of it all.

What is the point in killing one weasel when there are coyotes, foxes, predator birds and surely more weasels visiting my yard regularly?

My rabbits need strict supervision outdoors anyways so I built another mini yard for them. This one is made of aluminum siding that I had left over. I don't think a weasel can climb that. I can put the dogs inside the yard or one in and one out. I feel better about this setup.

i guess, many people may not decide to put their rabbits outdoors but I want to have the option.

Griffin would be climbing on one of the dogs so he could escape.  He is such a troublemaker.  Even a 4 foot pen will not keep him in- I had to add a Coroplast top clipped to the pen.  And if he gets past that I am going to add something to the top of the pen to keep him from being able to hang onto it and climb over.

Mimz, call me Kat any day if it means you think of me as handy. (I am more stubborn than handy, I think.)

My rabbits were scared in the new pen at first, especially Deirdra, which is very unusual. She hid behind the little bush and Mops joined her for company.

but they liked it over all, and nobunny tried to dig out!

I like this video of Mops and Neigey for their posing in it. It's like they are waving flags at the birds: "yoohooo! here we are! come and get us!" A top for the pen would be nice, I am thinking some sort of lattice.

yes, I have to carry them again.

Here is the lattice I wanted as top. It will keep the birds away and give shade.

I love how it breaks the light

Thanks!

I dedicate my bunny yard to member kralspace. I had put to rest any hopes of an outdoor area for my quartet, but after seeing all the pretty bunny set-ups for outside she had posted in the other thread www.binkybunny.com/FORUM/tabid/54/a...fault.aspx, I got back into the mood!
