Daughter number two has decided that she doesn't like it. Too heavy, too
awkward to get in and out of her shed, uses a fuel that she has to go out
and buy, doesn't pick up grass well enough etc, etc.

I've tried pointing out that firstly, it has an ENGINE, it makes SMOKE and
NOISE, it can cut off fingers and toes and that cutting the grass more than
once every three weeks might improve the pick-up, but no, she's not
convinced. :-(

Bet I wouldn't have had this trouble with a boy.

So she wants more power, less weight AND it to be electric not fuel. Sounds like it's becoming not your problem.

Not necessarily: e.g. she might fancy sheep.

Our daughter keeps two rabbits round her grans and they do a good job
of keeping her grass trimmed. ;-)

They also like digging shallow holes in the grass down to the soil to
lay in to keep cool in the heat so daughter is gradually re-seeding
the whole lawn as she moves their run about (and it needs it). ;-)

Oh I think you would today.
Everybody expectg everything to be clean safe and simple.
Unfortunately there are still lots of people who sever fingers and do backs
in while gardening, some even manage to stick forks through their feet.
There should be an accident prone exam and those who fail need to be in the
safe world the rest of us can carry on as before.

If you are dreaming of electric sheep you must be an Android

I work in Engineering, but for some odd reason, the office that we are
due to move to in September has a huge picture of sheep and lambs at the
end of it. Not quite what I'd expect for an Engineering office.

Floor the run with wire netting. The grass can poke through to be eaten,
but they can't dig.

But they must have shelter.

I thought they shouldn't have wire underfoot or maybe they mean wire
as an actual floor (like mouse gage), rather than grass that is poking
though the wire)?

Understood.

But they must have shelter.

Of course. Daughter has provided what looks like a rabbit adventure
playground with tunnels and logs and cardboard and all sorts of stuff
to entertain them.

One rabbit is quite old and just seems happy to lope about and eat the
grass. The other is younger and is into anything you introduce into
their run. ;-)

They are generally only let out under supervision and are put away in
their two story hutch every night.

I did consider a fully enclosed run (inc the wire base as you suggest)
and that may be stage two.
