  I am working on setting up a running area for Buddy (he is a 10 week old Holland Lop). I have seen somethings about rabbits ability to jump 4 feet or higher. Is this something I actually need to be worried about? Will Buddy really be able and try to jump over a 3′ high X-pen wall when he is full grown? Thanks in advanced! 🙂

  It really does depend on the bun. Some people can get away with a 2 foot high pen, while others have to cover their 4 foot pen to be safe. My girl is perfectly fine with a 42 inch pen, but I feel like we’d be able to pull off a 3 foot pen with no issues. It comes down to many factors including, age, breed, size, energy levels and even if there’s other buns in the home (insensitive to get out of the pen). If a 3 foot pen is what you have, it should work for now, and I’d just wait and see, and if he jumps it, get a bigger one.

  He is a Holland Lop and should only get to 3.5 lbs max. He has been trying to excape the walls I built with cardboard boxes.
  
  I am looking into getting a couple extra X-pens to section of a big space of our basement for me to let him out of the smaller space so he can run more. So I am looking at getting it very soon.
  
  I think I will just go bigger to play it safe. I don’t imagine he will ever jump the 3 foot one but it’s not that much more for a little taller one for the running area. Thank you!
