Yup, Smudge is going mental again. 
Most of you know how I have his enclosure set up: My closet has been transformed into a giant bunny cage, and I have a gait that I put on the front of it at night so that Smudge doesn't get out (There are no closet doors, just a curtain).
Well, Smudge discovered that he could jump over the 18" gate. He had done it before a couple times when I didn't bring him his food fast enough, but he never jumped out for the sake of escaping until a couple days ago. One night, he literally jumped out 5 different times, and I had to re-capture him and put him back only for him to escape again a few minutes later. When he escaped, he didn't even do anything- He laid down across from my bed, and watched me sleep LOL.
So I attached some NIC panels to the top of his gate, so he couldn't jump it. Well, there is a 2-3" gap between the NIC panel and the wall because the NIC panels just weren't quite big enough, and now he is trying to squeeze through that. Last night I witnessed him jump up on the gate, hang on it for a second, and fit his head through the gap before he fell! I'm worried he will hurt himself.
He is completely obsessed with trying to jump over his gate right now. I thought he was too old to be doing this, but apparently not...
Does anyone have any new gate ideas for me? The opening to my closet is 4 ft wide, and I would need something more than 2 ft tall.
