Sounds like you need to fence off an area for things he shouldn't touch, use a padlock. Or maybe fence off an area to keep him in, still use the padlock
Maybe this is what Bruce means...

Need to move rabbit kits to new housing and get momma maybe rented with this cool weather. Mmm what would you do @promiseacres wait till late fall (that's generally cool off again) or go ahead and rebreed now?

depends on your needs and how she's doing. Is she nice and plump or needs some groceries? Do you need the bunnies? And as it heats up bucks will go sterile so don't count on bunnies even if you try.

Pretty sure it's to hot already. But she not competley where i want her weight wise and yet. Plus Cleary after this morning I need better cages. Stella got one baby bunny, waiting to see if it makes it or not. Either she opened the cage or one of the kids did and didn't lock it. We lost one chick this morning and two others seem to be fading. We see what happens. I think either this incubator sucks or something happening that i don't know about. When I last candle all the eggs looked great and so far only those eight have hatched. This is the second round thats done that so now i am thinking partly the incubator might be the problem.... Mmm I don't know anyways moving to good news. Dhs company isn't slowing down at all he having to turn down jobs he is so busy its ridiculous in some ways. I don't remember if i mention it before but when we first got panda but her coat feels so much better. Our garden is doing well the Swiss chard died thanks to the chickens and ducks the brats.

So I’ll tell you what I know about my incubator, since we have the same one. I labeled my eggs with rows and numbers. And then when my eggs hatched I saw that only the eggs in the top two rows, and around the edges of the middle two rows, absolutely none hatched from the middle of the middle two rows or anything in the front two rows. So all in all I ended up with a 18 egg hatch from 42 eggs
I hope this helps you. I’m only placing eggs in those spots this time around. Hope this can help you a bit.It’s frustrating for sure- Thread starter

First i hate fire ants they killed three healthy chicks so need a new plan were to keep them. Second what the happened to this birds feets is beyond me.... I think it hatched to early for itself... it's feet first were filled with fluid at hatching and now they look like this. 
He hopes around to get from place to place...Thinking i going to have to put it down thoughts??? @farmerjan @Baymule @thistlebloom. So frustrated with the incubator no other eggs have hatched. And now this grrr. Life goes on. I be stopping by feed store for containers for water and feed. Two save the last two chicks left and buy a few buddy's to help them when i introduce them later to the flock. Ironically the ants aren't near the birds feed or water just were on the chicks.... that makes me so angry
