        Well, Navi is proving to be a right pain in the backside…

        We had carpet fitted to our bun room a short while ago, to give the buns a generally better experience in there… Rather than slippery floor in places…
        But Navi isn’t content with it, she has been persistently digging at the safety gate we had set up… But, silly us, we had a fabric gate that she has pretty much destroyed trying to get out…
        So, we’ve had to have the door shut for a couple of days while we awaited delivery of a new, better gate.

        During this time, Navi has set about trying to destroy the carpet at the door… But we knew that was going to happen.

        The new gate arrived today, installed very easily…

        It’s actually a little higher than our previous gate…

        But, typically… Navi is a resourceful little lady… Within about 15 minutes of installing it and coming away… *THUD* and cats scattering… Navi is just sitting in the hallway… She’d hopped the gate…

        She’s an utter nightmare… A beautiful, loving adorable nightmare, but a nightmare all the same!!!

          Here’s the rotter and the gate she cleared… Pah… Nightmare indeed!

            Lol! Mine clear the 4 ft x pen if I forget to put the blanket on it. Hmm. If you could make it look taller by hanging a sheet somehow, maybe she would stay in.

              Could you try fixing a sheet over the gate itself so that she can’t see outside? Maybe that would reduce the allure of escaping if she can’t see where she’s hopping to.

                My baby gates look exactly the same…. we just placed ours in the hallway higher, about a foot above the ground, and just placed a timber slat across the bottom. Your still luckier than me RetroSquid – I had to thread light fencing wire through mine – the little bugga managed to squeeze through!

                  Sneaky bunny! Thankfully Lulu is small enough to not be able to jump over her pen, and hers is only 3 feet. She’d much rather attack it with her claws and bite it.

                    lol, she looks determined to get out!

                    my guy is in an ex pen and he was too impatient for me to get his blueberries I saw him practically climb out! I didn’t think rabbits could climb like that! he also figured out how to unlock it, so I have to make sure it’s secure when I shut it (which sometimes the kids help me, and they don’t know to lift it to shut it completely. not their fault, but I always have to double check!)

                      That’s a high jump! I think somebunny might qualify for rabbit hopping competitions!

                        We still have our old gate, thankfully…
                        So, at night, or when we’re out… She has to put up with this…

                        It seems to have been enough to put her off any escape attempts for now.

                        Our unspayed bun, Daisy, is laying a lot of highly scented poops right now, and it’s driving Navi mental…
                        But, she’s in for her spay tomorrow, so hoping things will calm down.
