How to stop my pet Rabbit coming indoors

[philkool]

Apart from barricading the back door so we can have some air how can i stop soppy rabbit coming in as i want him to have the garden to run around in ? ive thought about a shotgun hehe.

Onions, carrots and some pastry should do the job

he has all the food he wants in his hutch so why does he want to keep trying to get in the house ? even when we sit in the garden so its not for company .

make up a small wooden framed mesh covered frame that will fit across the doorway

Get a pet indoor ferret?

[philkool]

thanks for your replies but i dont want to keep moving the mesh or screen every time i want to go outside, i was thinking more of how to train it so it knows not to go in the house

this rabbit can jump over 2ft

good luck with that phil

think i,ll just put my furniture in the garden and put the hutch in the house,

A 3' deep moat around the backdoor should do it.

Is the sleeping part of the hutch dark and insulated? Maybe bunny is looking for cool shade. I know you're not that silly but I've seen hutches with corrugated iron on top and the inside is like an oven.

He wants to come in to be with you, rabbits like company. Could you not make a chicken wire panel that you could step over to get out, but would stop him from coming in?

take his key away from him Regards

Although it is sweet that he comes to visit you are you not a bit concerned about a fox, dog or evil feline paying him a visit ? Or is your garden secure?
