My FG buck, Bigwig, is a good 20 lbs.
He's a pretty laid back guy, so I never took him for being light on his feet.
Today was day one of phasing him towards having the run of the rabbitry (and eventually our fenced outer yard) simply because caging him is a huge prospect.
He has a large wire dog cage for night etc.
I put a pan with some of his used litter in it to show him his new litter spot (put it right on where he usually goes in the back of the crate) and opened his door into our 4.5' high ex-pen, which was firmly wedged at the wall behind his crate, figuring he could gradually gain space. He spent all day happily lolling about in the pen.
This was where he hung out most of the day:

I just went out for night checks and to put him back in his crate...
And the ex-pen was exactly where it ought to be.
But Biggie was on the OUTSIDE of it, on TOP of a 4' high table, looking out the screens at the yard. :shock: :shock: :lol:
(his pen is on the right, with the table he was on top of outside it in the foreground~ rabbitry is a work in progress
)

I just don't even...
The only partial step up would be the dog crate with a wire top (wide spaces) and that is 36" at least, and then over the fence to the table top?
Whichever way he went he surmounted at least 4'.
I may have to rethink this.
The porch where we have set up is a screened in sun porch, the screens are stapled to the frame (in winter we are going to shutter them).
If he can leap up, his weight would push out the screen and he'd land outside. :shock:
Never boring!
I simple never imagined him getting up high.
