Saw this article today on facebook.

Thought it very interesting.

It seems a great way to keep babies safe. I do something similar with winter litters.

Informative and interesting. Thank you Ladysown for bringing this to my attention. I have not done this but might in the future, depending on where we end up owning our own home.

I'm a happy shelver. My current litter is a second generation for shelving actually, their mother was shelved too. I love the control of being able to keep them safe while they are in their most vulnerable stage, after the first two weeks there's really no reason to keep them inside unless I'm having attachment issues. :lol:

Alice's kits:

If I can, I will always shelve. Way too many horror stories I hear of kits dying due to chill / ants / stomping / racoons / etc. I can spare 10 minutes of my day to take them in and out of the house, plus I love having bunnies in my closet.
