Can a fox get through a wired rabbit hutch?

Answer 1

Yes. A small enough rabbit CAN jump right through the mesh in a standard sized yard fence. I know this, because last night I had the little guy (... no not a baby) cornered and poof - he jumped right through the fence and bounded off into the brush. I was stunned for a minute - he sure didn't LOOK like he would have fit through there - but sure enough, he most certainly did. So, not seeing any rabbit holes? No tunnels under your fence? (mine is a 5' chain link) He's probably just jumping right through it. Obviously, there comes a point that a larger rabbit will not get through, but this 3-5 pound rabbit did it without even breaking stride, and a 3-5 pound rabbit is plenty big to tear up your garden. I'm moving my operation to level 2...trapping. If trapping doesn't work, I'll break out my air rifle. Good luck!

Answer 2

A fox could get through is the wire around the hutch is week. You could also get foxes if the garden/yard you keep the rabbit in has no wall or fence. I f you live in a busy area then you will probably not get foxes. I live in an area with lots of foxes and they have come and snooped around my rabbit Hutch but because i had a strong wire my rabbit was safe.

Answer 3

Yes, a fox can potentially get through a wired rabbit hutch if the wires are not strong enough or if there are gaps large enough for the fox to squeeze through. It is important to ensure the hutch is securely constructed and has no openings that a fox could exploit.
