Our family have rescued 2 grown rabbits, who I believe to be a male and female. We are housing them in a large guest bathroom until we are able to construct a more suitable home for them. We have a really lovely treed garden and have made numerous attempt to pen them for a while out doors while cleaning the bathroom.
I'm talking about soft lawn, climbing toys, shade, hutch, hay....
Mr Peter Rabbit has no appreciation for my interior decorating abilities and takes about 7 min to jump out of the pen which by the way is a meter high.
The female is very happy to stay put.
Chasing him around the garden is not fun for either of us!
Will he come back if I leave him? Will he be able to out-run the cats?
Very new at this and very grateful for the helpful site.

If it isn't up and over, it will be under and out. Dunno the answer to every question but I do know this - the only secure way to keep your rabbit safe is to put wire around all 6 sides of the rabbit's space. See our info on rabbit runs...

Or, you might put a pet halter on it and stake it. This solution carries a number of possible drawbacks, so it would be best to do your cleaning quickly, or check on the rabbit every 15 minutes or so.
Enjoy your rabbits!
