Well Husband has stated that there is room for improvement on the Rabbit Hutch design – which we knew going in, but hey. The sewage system was indeed hit rather hard by the straw from the bedding boxes but that burden has lessened a bit now that it’s all packed down but cleaning out that system wasn’t fun… or at least I figure it wasn’t from the expression on Hubby’s face – he is so awesome that he did it for me! I wuvs my Hubby.
Anyway – he put together a 10′ pole (no jokes) with a wooden disk on the end to snake out the catch pipes – it’s oookie since some of the mess invariably comes out the end your working on, but it does work. Now I get to shovel up all that ‘compost’ and spread it on the garden… fun, fun.
As for the escapee…
Yoder and Wonka are 30″ cages instead of 36″ cages currently – were upgrading as budget allows and these are the only two still waiting. We’ll apparently the got rowdy enough that they shoved the cages off their support beams. Yoder’s cage slipped down enough that the hole in the wire cage to access his wooden bedding box slipped below the box and he was able to wiggle out into the free world… the unfenced free world full of roaming neighborhood cats and dogs. (Rabbit Photos are Here).
I’m not sure how long he was out yesterday – in the pouring rain – before our awesome neighbors spotted him and came to let us know (did I mention they are the most awesome neighbors?!), but Hubby said he walked out there and Yoder was just hanging out by the Hutch. He was able to right the cage and then just pick the little guy up and put back in his home – no problem!
Yay Neighbors! Yay Hubby! and Yay Yoder for not being a skittish turd!
