I live in a large house with a garden/lawn with so many different types of flowers...plants, you name it. It isn't mine so I have no control over it, but I can let my bunnies play in it whenever. The weather has been nice lately and I feel my bunnies are missing it by not being able to play outside. They have access to the entire house, although only my older one Casper goes up and down staircases, and the entire house. My younger rabbit is too scared and sticks to upstairs only.
The problem is, I know that there is definitely some plants in the yard that are harmful to bunnies. I will post a general picture of the garden. None of them are able to escape because we have dogs as well, and we have guarded everything up.
I constantly check the plants/flowers, but I wouldn't be able to remove them anyway. Just make sure that no one consumes them. I know Casper won't eat much, just run around. But Korn chews and eats everything in sight from my iPhone cases to hanging decorations. So I know he definitely will try to eat everything. Also, he is very hard to handle and he does not let me pick him up easily.
Would anyone even recommend using a bunny harness? I'd still have to buy it, but I have one harness that almost fits Casper. It's from a dachshund I have.
I know people buy dog X pens and then put there bunnies inside, but my bunnies won't tolerate being caged up and jump very high and everywhere in the house...and through baby gates. I also have never seen one of those where I live. So in the mean time is it advisable to let them play outside without all this stuff?
Thanks.
