Hi everyone! First, I house my rabbits indoors, so don’t jump to conclusions with the title. There are practically no dangerous animals/predators/cars where I live, except horses, cows, chickens, sheep, and squirels. At night there are lots of racoons and skunks, but my rabbit’s won’t be living outside.

So, right outside the “bunny room” in our “backyard”, there is sort of a mini backyard, and then it drops down a couple feet to big field. 

On the mini backyard, a quarter of it is brick, and the other quarter is pebbles, plants and a gazibo. I want to put some netting+fencing around the entire mini backyard, so I can leave the door to the bunnyroom open, and for a few hours the bunnies could run around outside. I would like to get some inspiration and ideas for it, and would love to see any outdoor runs/play areas your bunny has.

Also here are some general health questions I have.

– Does anyone use flyprotectant? I live in the U.S so my rabbits aren’t vaccinated, and I can’t seem to find flyprotectant (only flea and tick). We live on a ranch, and the chickens are free range so there are some flys, not a lot though. 

– Are there any disieses that can be picked up by rabbits outside, like by dirt or something else?

– I know not a lot of people will know this, so don’t answer it if you don’t, are there any disieses that can be transfered from chickens to rabbits? I know a lot of people who house rabbits in their chicken coops, and they don’t seem to be sick, but I just want to be sure (the chickens run around the whole property, so yeah

Thanks for any help and pictures!!!!!
