I have a bunny fort that looks close to what's in the drawing, I really have to work on all that other stuff!

wow! tho' if the main building is made of cardboard then my two would add their own windows...and doors

I really like the concept behind that garden set up - the fencing to keep the buns from devouring the plants faster than they can actually grow.

Thanks

If you fancy a go at the gardening the easy way to do it is to get a wire hanging basket the same size around as a large flower pot. Plant up your pot then put the basket upside down over it and cable tie it down. You can mesh over the basket if you need finer holes.

Cool! All I'm missing is the indoor garden.

On the hanging stuff- one thing to hang is a group of vertical cardboard tubes all next to each other in a row. I call this the "cardboard curtain" and my buns love it. They sleep behind them, hop through them, smack them around with their noses, and tear them down and chew them.

I design mine so they can make their own 'renovations'. I'll put a box inside a box or make small holes, or I'll have a pesky flap somewhere for them to chew off.

Keeps them busy on things that are not related to MY furnishings.

I was mad at my landlords for changing my little back porch around and putting in a full-size window in the door (after I complained that they took out the window the bunnies liked to lie beside), but now I'm thinking it can house a mini-bunny garden.

I love the little garden area!

 

[tamsin]

That's definitely just after a tidy up. I'm sure my bun isn't the only one that would throw everything around and redecorate the box as soon as you turn your back lol.

that sounds perfect! my 2 buns are harry and cedric, named after the characters haha. the garden area can be the forbidden forest

I love the idea! Although I think it would be easier to make the little house out of ply wood. It would be easier to clean and my buns wouldn't chew threw it. :bunny19
