DIG PROOF RABBIT DAY PEN AND HUTCH WITH OPEN DOOR

Stop your rabbit digging under his outdoor day pen.

A solution would be an indoor playpen for evening and night for safety, company with your bunnies so you can interact with them and enjoy them and reducing their access to the earth around your house. Combine that with a "Day Pen & Hutch" with shade and a big run. 


How to make a Dig Proof Rabbit Day Pen
The run can be made non-diggable by laying a 'carpet' of chicken wire over the lawn then topping it with washed river sand (from nursery). The grass will grow through the sand with some daily watering. 

You can make the pen large so that they are still enjoying your yard during the day but can't dig. 

Put a sandpit in so they can keep up their digging practice safely:)


Wire over your grass, cover with washed river sand, grass will grow up through. No digging!

Shade is important. Shade sails, a tree or umbrella can help. The table offers shade & is 5 degrees cooler under.

Having your hutch up on a table makes cleaning easy
