Did a major cleaning today, attached a fleece blanket to the desk for hiding, one of the rugs is outside drying after a good scrub with carpet cleaner, swapped out the litter boxes and moved a few things around. Someone, probably Kevin, has been peeing on the floor between the pen and the wall. I cleaned that up and attached hwc to the end of the pen to block access. Butt head. Hubs will be on vacation in two weeks, I've asked for a pop door to be added to the big door so it doesn't have to be open all the time. There are baby toys and sticks to chew on in there and the little hay balls which they seem to really enjoy.

Thanks, maybe just a little bit. They don't get to roam outside their pen much though, there are 3 bullies in the house.

Want to do my bunnies now?

No but thanks for the offer

How should I introduce a rabbit and dogs? I've seen some people get something of the dogs and the rabbits and let them get used to their scent, after that let them see and smell each other through an xpen or something, then (with the dog on a leash) let them come up to each other while being highly supervised. We would probably introduce the dogs individually to keep it easy just in case.
Both of my dogs are very well behaved, and won't even bother the lizards that are everywhere here.

Do y'all think this would work?

I keep my buns inside right now due to heat and my dogs are bullies. If you have control of your dogs then yes it could work. It depends on the breed and the individual dog though. I would never have had bunnies inside when we had a Jack Russell.

Rosie is a Terrier (a Yorkshire Terrier) and they were bred to catch rats and mice..
I think she would just want to play with the rabbit. She's about the same size as a rabbit. I doubt she would hurt one.
Teddy would probably pretend the rabbit didn't exist lol

I would be careful with a dog playing with a bunny. Even if she would normally be nice, if the rabbit is bothering her she could snap at him. Always supervise dogs and bunnies. I used to have to do the same with the rabbits and chickens, until I realized that though the bunnies are smaller than the chickens, the chickens are still terrified of them. Except Jenny and Dorothy, who are afraid of the blue plastic bowl I occasionally put feed in.

Of course. We would only let them be together when under close supervision. Rosie doesn't play roughly. She usually just runs around and whines at us to throw toys that are to far for us to reach lol. Thankfully she doesn't snap at anyone. I do know that they could act differently when in a different situation, like with a rabbit. She often is a bit nervous around other dogs, so she would probably be the same with the rabbit until she warms up to him.
