It is necessary
A cage or portable aviary, a shelter from bad weather, a drinking bowl with water, a litter box for rabbits in the house
Instructions
Step 1
If you have released the rabbits from the enclosure to run around the garden, make sure that your garden is fenced in with a brick wall or a strong enough fence. Do not give your rabbits too much room to walk because they can be easily lost in a large garden and finding a hidden rabbit is not easy.
Step 2
Check for gaps in the fence. The rabbit will be able to squeeze even through a small one. Make sure that it is impossible to dig a hole under the fence.
Step 3
A tame rabbit is not always wary of cats and dogs. A neighbor's dog, suddenly jumping over the fence, can bite a brave kid who did not hurry to run away and hide. Make sure that no one attacks your rabbits while walking. When other animals do not threaten the rabbits, they walk calmly and are not afraid of anything.
Step 4
Make sure the rabbits have a place to hide. If it rains or the sun gets too hot, they can gather under cover. Keep your pets out in very cold or damp weather.
Step 5
If you are very afraid for the safety of rabbits, get them a portable, spacious aviary in which they will be able to move freely. Now you don't have to worry about your rabbits getting lost. Such an aviary will serve as a reliable way to walk rabbits. It can be easily moved from one place to another in the garden. The aviary must be closed on all sides, with a solid foundation and a shelter inside.
Step 6
You can give the rabbits the opportunity to walk whenever they like. Fence the pasture with wire mesh and place the animal in the cage. If they want to, they will go out for a walk and then go back to the cage. Do not leave rabbits outside overnight; lock them in a cage in the evening. Rabbits should not walk in the dark. Keep in mind that it won't be easy to catch a walking rabbit. Be patient. Do not chase him all over the pasture and do not grab the rabbit too roughly, he can get very frightened. Better corner him. In this case, he will understand that he has nowhere to go, and he himself will be in your hands.
Step 7
Rabbits will dig holes in their territory, do not hinder them in this. But be careful not to let them dig through the wire mesh. In order not to worry about this, bury the mesh deeper into the ground, to a depth of about thirty centimeters or more. Please note that the net height must be at least two meters. Place the water bowl in a prominent place and remember to top up as needed.
Step 8
Make sure that the grass growing in the area you are walking is not treated with pesticides and fertilizers. Also check for dangerous plants nearby. The following plants are poisonous for rabbits: euphorbia, celandine, nightshade, dog parsley, poisonous hemlock, wild radish, poisonous milestone, foxglove, buttercup, anemone, wrestler, oleander, lily of the valley, etc.
Step 9
If you keep rabbits in the apartment or just decide to let them in for a while, you can let them run freely. Be sure to make sure that none of them chews on furniture and electrical wires. Don't forget to put a litter box for your rabbits.
