If you do - please be very cautious.
We have a metal run (supposed to be a puppy run I think) which folds up, and attaches into the ground with tent pegs.
It's great, but their hutch is inside it so to prevent foxes getting on the hutch roof and then into the run, I covered it with a purpose made black net.
Yesterday I went out to put them in for the night, and found one of them crouched in a corner, and I realised he had the net around his neck.
It was quite tight, but he was able to struggle and try and run away when I tried to help him. I eventually got him on my lap and untwisted it and he was fine, thank God.
But it was really scary. I don't know how he pulled it down - there was a section he'd bitten off, too, I don't know how long he had been caught.
This is the second time something like this has happened to him - a couple of years back he got his neck caught in a holey sheet I'd put over one corner to keep the sun off, and they had eaten holes in it and he got trapped. Ds1 saved him that time.
I think he has a bit of a death wish but still it's my fault - please ensure your nets are tied up properly so they can't get trapped in them.

Do you use a net over your rabbit run?
