ted and i will have to dig out all the snow and figure out something, the only thing i can think of is to drive steaks into the ground so the rabbits cant dig.

LunasMomma · 12-10-2008, 01:35 PM

Get some chicken wire, staple it to the bottom of the trellis, then bury the chicken wire. When those bunnies hit wire while they're digging, they will stop.

Good luck! Izzy gets under our deck in the backyard sometimes and won't come out for anything

She can access it by our pool pump and my &$*(#$^# husband has YET to fix it

the problem is the ground is frozen now so digging all that up for chicken wire would be really hard. i think if we can , driving steaks into the ground would be easier til summer comes again

I work for the Fire Department in my town and we get a couple calls a year about scenarios like this... Our most recent one was last week when an elderly woman called the office (not 911) to ask for assistance because her s**tzu had somehow gotten on top of the pool cover and couldn't or wouldn't get off. We all just kinda laugh at these because their technically not what the guys do, but since we have a great Chief and I'm such a animal lover we usually send out a couple guys to help with the situation. FYI - the s**tzu was rescued by one of the guys and was fine. But as a precautionary measure for this happening again I would find a way to block the area off so that she cannot get in there.

Next time (hopefully there won't be) try walking away saying "bye bye" really calmly and literally make her think you're leaving her there. She'd probably come out real fast then.

My dog used to do this a lot too... he loved being underneath things, anything, and he really hated when things were blocked off from him. Eventually we put up some trellaces (spelling?) and chicken wire and he stopped, although you could tell he wasn't happy. It would be hard to do in the winter though for sure... Perhaps until the ground softens and some of the snow melts she needs to be put on a line so that she doesn't have access to underneath the deck.. not sure if that's even a possibilty, as it obviously depends on the setup of your yard. Not sure where you live, but living in Canada I know how bad the weather can be and how scary it would be to not be able to get them out.. I would think animal instincts would kick in if they got too cold, but my instincts always screamed rescue my baby! lol

DukesMommy · 12-10-2008, 05:42 PM

What about any animal rescue type things? Kinda like the animal cops that are on animal planet.

That would be scary! I had a scare kinda like that once, only it was with our rabbit, when I first got her she was teeny tiny, and I guarded off the kitchen area in our apartment for her to play. I went to check on her and she had found some hole that led behind all of the cabinets so she was basically in the wall. I freaked out so bad! I was asking my husband who to call to get her out, but he ended up luring her out with a celery stick.

If 911 is like it is here, they won't do anything. Cookie had puppies under my deck in May. She would not leave them or bring them out. It was still cold outside. There was no way to get to where she was. I called 911 and they blew me off. So around 11 PM we cut a board out off the deck to get her out and one of the puppies was already dead.

I was wondering if I had spelled it wrong... ???

Keely_momma · 12-11-2008, 06:26 PM

My dog would come waay before my deck. our deck was rippied apart when my duck got stuck under there. There was a small opening and when he got under there, he was too dumb to get back out. After 45 minutes of him going around quaking in a panic my dad ripped up the deck himself. Im sorry but my dog is worth way more then a deck. I wouldnt chance anymore then a half hour before tearing it up if it were my dog

Keely_momma · 12-11-2008, 06:27 PM

BTW- im pretty sure its spelled, shih tzus?

haha but im not 100% sure..lol

I think if you call animal control at your local Co. will give you a certain answer. Glad that your fur-baby is ok
