        Ok so Finn has just given me the fright of my life and I am not happy with him (and he knows it).

        I put a gate up separating the hallway to the kitchen (as the kitchen has no door being all open). As i was setting up Myrtles crate and cleaning it, I noticed Finn was very quite. To quite. Hmm….

        I went out calling him and noticed the gate to the kitchen had been knocked down (possibly by me to be fair). I knew where he was, he was behind the washer. Not just that be under the units (basically into the foundations of the house where all the gas pipes are). 

        I was worried sick that he could go deeper into the house, or hurt himself, blow us up, or not come out! I was panicking. He did come out and i quickly blocked the “tiny” gap with towels before he could go back in and grabbed him firmly out of there. 

        I am going to need a baby gate there as I cannot risk that happening again!

        Would you recommend any make that can be set up with pressure at both ends appose to bolts, with bars thin enough?

          One of my bunnies knows how to take down baby gates. He knows to push the latch up, then pull, and itll fall out of the doorway. Even if we put the latch on the other side where he cannot reach, he has learned that pushing on it in this position will cause it to fall out of the doorway. So, for him, we need the baby gates that are nailed into the door frame and have metal locks on the gate part. If you cant get enough pressure on your baby gate, or notice that Finn knows how to take down the gates, a bolted one might be needed for you too. Dang smart buns

            My boys have one of those tension baby gates. They will both be 8 this year and they have always respected the gate. I guess they never felt the need to get to the other side?

              At the moment I don’t have a baby gate — just a temporary barricade. Finn is into everything so if he hasn’t explored a room he will keep trying to get to it. My bedroom is another No No which he tries to access. But the kitchen has small gaps into the units he can crawl into so i don’t want him in there for safety reason.
