Well my boys have gotten big enough that they can't fit under the couch any more (yahoo!). I put an xpen around the entertainment center so they can't get in and chew on wires/books, and I put a baby gate up to confine them to the family room/kitchen.
They've been pretty good - I let them out an hour here and there most of the day. They can go in their cage as they want, and they've been really good about going in there to use the litterbox. Mac is very tame and allows me to catch him to go back in. Molly doesn't - but I have a small broom that I can 'block' him with and he will go back in the cage on his own. (And no I don't chase him with it, I just block him when and kinda channel him back into his cage).
My young Sheltie absolutely adores 'his' rabbits. It's really funny. He lays down and watches them running around, and they come over and visit and actually jump over his back. After a while they will lay down snuggled up to him and they all fall asleep. He is a very gentle dog so no worries that he will hurt them at all. He will play bow to them and try to get them to chase him but unfortunately they don't speak 'dog' LOL.
The only issue I have is that Molly tries to dig the carpet. When I hear him doing it, I will chase him away from the area and he stops. He seems to do this in the same spot. I've put a trash can on top of it so he doesn't dig there, but does anyone else have any suggestions on how to get him to stop this ? He's only done it a few times and I've stopped it pretty quickly.
