The Rabbit Residence Rescue

How to make a nice home …. A rabbit warren.

Rabbits live in warrens in the wild. Have a look at the countryside around you and look for signs of a warren. You will see that they are often in woody shade with dry earth. Steep grassy banks commonly have rabbit holes and spoil around them. Rabbits like dry, shady places, and the ability to hide when threatened. Consequently, it is great if you can provide places for them to hide when they feel threatened, and places where they can dig, burrow and play!

Here are some things that you can put into your ‘warren’…

• Logs • Rocks • Brought Wood sheets/ lengths • Pallets • Bricks

• Paving stones • Cardboard boxes • Old wine boxes • Log baskets

• Natural willow, pine, bramble • Flowerpots

• Underground (CLAY) piping not plastic as they can eat it… pipes covered with turf so they can not eat them…

• Cat/ dog baskets turned upside down • Litter trays

• Tyres • Sandpit/ put 4 lengths of wood together of a depth around 1 to 3 feet to make square frame and add peat or bark chippings or child safe sand
