Do the cats ever try to get into the enclosure?

They stay out of it unless we open up the side of it to let Peter have access to the full yard. Link will usually go under the bush into Peter's den and Rocket will just look around real quick. We have only let Peter out a few times; Rocket likes to chase him too much for my comfort so I usually put him back in after just a little while.They are all gorgeous.

YaY! Love to see Peter updates He is such a nifty guy and is such a beautiful bunnyPeter is super excited that broccoletti is back in stores. He loves eating the tops and leaves; the stem is a good boredom muching when everything else is gone.

He also got the last of some blueberries and raspberries we had in the fridge. Which were more exciting and didn't last long enough for photos..
I am so sorry for your loss. We lost a little one very suddenly too, always figured it was some illness from the breeder because it was so sudden. We've had some live into their teens in the past and hopefully little Peter will too. So far he is 1.5 years old and doing good.When I was a kid, we got 2 bunnies. One died within a few days. The pet shop replaced it. The new one died the next day. Replaced one more time. That one died. So we gave up and just kept the original bunny and named him Lucky. He lived for 14 years. I loved that bunny. We often put him on a little leash and took him out to eat some grass. Looking back, I wonder if he was killing the others.
I'm glad you're rescuing this bunny.
When I was four I also asked for a bunny. My Mom apparently told me that when I turned eight I could get a rabbit, thinking I would forget it. When my eight birthday rolled around I asked for my rabbit because my Mom promised when I turned eight I could have one. And such started the years of rabbits in our house.Lucky was a lifetime ago. It's funny how time turns painful loss into fond memory. He lived to be on old man.
My step daughter asked for a bunny a year ago. She was 4 at the time so the she old truck - saying "we'll see" and letting her forget about it worked quite nicely. A smallish apartment with 3 cats is no place for a bunny.
Vet appointment is first thing tomorrow morning. I think it will go good, he's pretty young and gets lots of exercise.How'd the vet visit go?

Back from the vet. As expected, he has fleas but not horrible or unexpected since he is outside. He got a gland cleaning and nail trim too. But the vet was very happy with his condition and general health. Clear lungs, good heartbeat, good coat, clean ears, etc. He was very well behaved at the vet with no tantrums or problems, a little scared but we were the only patients in the waiting area so no run in with dogs. He is a whole 5 pounds, so he's gained a little over a pound in the year he's been with us.
We are going to start a quarterly spa day for him with gland cleaning, nail trim and revolution for the fleas.
