Naughty Rabbitss



I think I might have the most naughtiest bunnies in the whole world. Mindy (see above) and her new boyfriend Denzel are slowly wreaking havoc in our garden.
They have got a groovy humdinger of a hutch my Dad built which they live in, but they also have free reign of the garden. Basically as soon as I get up I go and let them out. They love frolicking about the garden and getting up to mischief, and I mean mischief...Together they have dug a few holes, which I was okay with, Max just filled them up again.
I was looking out of Tallulah's bedroom window last week, and who did I see partying on down in the neighbour's garden? Why yes...Mindy and Denzel. Denzel actually made eye contact with me would you believe it. I thought that it was this minor hole that they kept re-digging up, but oh no. On closer inspection and going round the neighbours house to get them, I saw they had actually dug a tunnel going into the middle of her garden. A TUNNEL. A proper bonafied 1.5m tunnel. I was horrified and extremely apologetic to the neighbour who was very nice in fact. I filled up the hole on my side with some bits and bobs like old plant pots until I could do it properly. Next day....where are those bunnies? They had dug all the pots out and gone to play next door again!

They have also eaten every flower/plant nice pretty thing in the garden and dug up all the flowerbeds. Also in their tunnel making are piles of soil on the grass which is killing it.

I love them having their freedom as I hate to see an animal caged, but my garden is pretty trashed. So......My Dad has constructed a rather large run so I can contain them a bit in the garden. It is really cool actually, so excited when he put it together and I put the bunnies in all filled with enthusiasm.

10 minutes later, Denzel has jumped over the top. This thing is twice the height of him and more. Back to the drawing board. A few more holes dug and flowers eaten later my dad comes back with some bendy green trellisy flower boarder thing which he slots in the top to make it a bit higher. Yay i thought, he came round and did it today in the wind and the rain. It seems to have done the trick, Denzel has attempted to scale it but not succeeded yet, he is one determined guy. So Tallulah and I were watching them in it from the patio doors, and what do i see? Oh...Denzel destroying the grass digging ferociously trying to dig his way underneath. A massive clump of grass had been uprooted by the time i intervened 5 seconds later. I am in despair, I put the run round the cage for the time being on the patio which limits their space, but until I think of something else...it wil have to do. Eeek! Rabbit Despair.....!!!!
