Sam1 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I have a new bunny rescued from the RSPCA called Nutmeg and she chases my chickens. and tries to wind them up. I am worried they may try and peck her eyes as they often try and peck her as she goes by. Has anyone else got any experience of this.

The Dogmother Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 My bunnies mix well with the chooks, but I always watch to make sure that they don't get too close and get pecked - daft bunnies are liable to do this. One of my chooks decided to try the rablu run for size and the buns were inquisitive - she started pecking at them, so I had to get her out before they got their eyes pecked. Best be safe and monitor it carefully Sam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1 Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Thanks for your comments. I think my bunny is now starting to tread on thin ice with the chickens as I found her in the eglu run with her paws up on the grub eating the chickens food. The chickens were not impressed and were clucking at her. I think close monitoring is definately required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Probably a good idea to keep her away from the food too - bunnies have delicate tums and chook food might not suit them. Little rascals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
