Omg adorable!

My little lionhead went outside last night since it's finally warming up here. His "cage" got moved to the top of the yard today and he is loving life!

aw he's so adorable! so does that netting ontop continue over the whole enclosure?

It's actually a chicken coop that I revamped into the rabbit hutch. I was using it for my ducks and the destroyed the bottom of it. So the bottom is wire now for the droppings to fall thru, the door remains open so he can come and go as he pleases, and it's double sided, so he's on one side of that entire coop, and the other side is empty (waiting for his future mate coming this weekend). So So its a chicken coop and run attached. I'll take turns letting them outside in the run. Since his side has the door leading to the run, I'll let the doe out every other day and leave him in. here's a better pic...

I live out in the sticks and I've raised chickens and ducks before getting into the rabbits again. I've never had any predators other than a hawk attack on one of my Orpingtons but she recovered from it. I have a dog that makes his mark all over my property and I think that's what helps keeps the night predators away. My chickens lived in this coop for an entire year and a half before I moved them in a larger coop. Nothing ever got in there. I will eventually make a door for his (I'll have to so he doesn't jump into the run when the doe is in there) and when I do, which will be soon, I'll lock him up at night.

well my dog will chase off most predators but luckily he's not stupid enough to go after the mountain lions or the bears (Bears go for rabbits right? they've gone for our chickens..) we DO have some relentless foxes though although I hope they will move on soon.. they usually do eventually..

I have Lionhead and Satin rabbits. The lionheads are usually docile and calm but my satins are crazy! Every morning i will go out to check on the satins and one of them will either have chewed through wiring to get out of their pens or be balancing on top of a 3ft garden wire fence. Just this morning, one of my lionheads knocked a hole in the bottom of her hutch and went running around our property until i caught her again.

Here is one of my satin doe's, she has a litter right now:



And here is one of my lionhead doe's:
