We have 2 Flemish Giants, but only for a short time now (>1 month). They seem to prefer to sleep in the run, never in the hutch. It has been nice weather these last few weeks, with days in the high eighties, and nights high fifties, but will this continue if I don’t “hutch-train” them? Thanks!

Update: The bunnies are with us, and the mesh is large enough that they place their feet in the gaps. They appear happy enough, and are being taken out several times a day to hop about the yard (and being petted my my kids!). The problem I am having is that the bunnies don’t seem to use the...

Hello all, I’m thankful to have found another online support group! I recently joined Backyard Chickens after getting out first flock, and now we’ve added Giant Flemish rabbits to the fun! We homeschool our children, so having these hands-on experiences is exciting for the whole family!
