Runaway Pets: How To Keep Your Rabbit From Escaping?

Beside rodents, rabbits are also escape artists extraordinaire even in secure cages. Here are some tips for keeping your pet rabbits where they should be, safely away from harm:

How To Keep Your Rabbit From Escaping?

1. Rabbits leap through amazingly small gaps in a flash. Small bunnies can jump through a single diamond-shaped gap of chain-link fencing as if the fence wasn’t there! We all want our rabbits to have plenty or room to romp around but unsupervised romp in the yard is definitely a no-no.
2. Rabbits are great diggers too, so if the hutch has a dirt-floor base, don’t be surprised to find them all over the garden or out on the road. Hutches should have wood or cement floors.
3. They also jump high, so open-topped enclosures or low fences are not enough. Besides, anything open-topped gives access to cats and large birds. Believe me, cats and crows, can and will kill adult and newborn rabbits respectively.
