rabbitat!!!

sorry for the lack of updates...between the lost dog
(still not found :( see blog in last post) & building the rabbitat, summer has disappeared.

the rabbitat is for a group of feral domestic buns we're adopting from best friends great bunny rescue. normally i keep my bunnies indoors, but these little feral guys wouldn't be happy inside with people. so we've tried to build them a rabbitat that will make them as safe as possible, while still allowing them to be wild animals.

we still have some fine tuning to do....planting some raspberry bushes we've found via freecycle, putting in some good bunny hiding spots (using the rubbermaid containers i used to transport all my shoes when we moved!) & putting down the rest of the rock (6.27 tons, bay-bee!!) but it's structurally sound & ready for bunnies! i'm so excited. i know i won't sleep at all after they get here. anyway, here are the pics:


using my quite substantial husband for scale.


ditto.

back view. rock like this will be all around the perimeter, outside & in, to prevent predators getting in & bunnies getting out.
