We don't have the dog anymore, and the fence is secure, so I let them out of the hutch. They're living on their own in the backyard, resting in the sun, stretching their legs, digging like crazy, eating grass... they're glad to see us and come running over for treats. I was worried about the cats, but the rabbits chase the cats out of the yard (one downside, actually).
They've really reverted - marking their territory, digging those burrows, and not only chasing but attacking the cats, driving them out of the yard. They're grubby, but they are happy.
The white one died, don't know why, so we have added a big old cinammon colored flop ear.
