There was a discussion about
safe withdrawal rates in the comments
section of one of my blog entries a few months ago that provoked a comment by me in which I presented an overview of where things
stand today re this issue.
* Weatherproof the roof * Install a solid, non slip floor * Enclose most sides * Use the strongest metal grids for the open sides * Insect proof all open sides, roof and walls where any bugs can enter * Preferably the size of the enclosure should be big enough for you to
stand inside * The access door should open inwards * The access door should start at your knee height (bottom of wall should be solid - guards against buns accidentally getting out & predators seeing buns from ground level) * Ensure there is no access from under the floor of the enclosure (stops foxes scaring bunnies from underneath) * Use strong locking device on door that can not be knocked open * Provide
safe house inside the enclosure so buns can run inside and can not be accessed easily if a dog / fox or person breaks in * Provide clean towels to snuggle in * Provide large litter tray filled with oaten hay * Provide large ceramic water bowl (sometimes two) * A blind or cover over the open
section at night will ensure that your buns will feel
safe & predators will not be able to see in & scare your bunnies when you are not around Whatever you provide for your bunnies living outside, ensure it is the
safest and most secure from predators, insects & extreme weather.
