My rabbit cage is a very basic one it has one end with a wooden roof and the other end with chicken wire. On the open end the roof is also chicken wire just to stop anything getting in or my rebbit getting out BUT it dosnt!!!!! He climbs up the chicken wire wall and pulls down the chicken wire roof!!! so now it us all tooooo easy it is like a chicken wire ramp now the roof is pulled down so he goes up to the top ond then jumps down onto the grass outside the cage. WHAT CAN I DOO

try re-attaching it with staple nails(i think thats what they are called) or heavy duty staples. or attach a board over that section of the cage as well and just forget about the screen.

I can't quite picture your hutch. It sounds like you need to build a new one if you can. Try tacking the chicken wire down onto the wood with poultry staples (that's what our box of u-shaped nails or staple nails calls them). We got those at Home Depot. Hardware cloth (rabbit wire) is preferable to chicken wire as the holes are smaller and vinyl-coated rabbit wire lasts a long time. We've had predators rip open chicken wire on our chicken pen but so far, the rabbit wire hasn't been breached. See my hutch at http://www.fishpondinfo.com/rabbits/hutch.htm

Is the area around the hutch fenced? If not, he could be anywhere. Search spots that are secluded like under porches, trees, and bushes and in corners and things. It's hard to find a rabbit once it's free. I hope you can find him before a predator does. Be sure to alert your neighbor's too.

Sorry about the little bun.

Tim - November 17, 2005 10:23 PM (GMT)
he was only a baby 6 weeks old!!!!!!!!

Oh, that's so sad. Baby buns should be with their mom until 8-weeks-old.
