Hello
I am hoping to get some buns soon and I'm planning their housing arrangements. This is what I hope to do:
To put the hutch into a run/pen so they have access to exercise to run about, and it's fox proof and rabbits can't dig out, because it'll be on concrete. First question is: where can i get these pens from or wire panels to attach together? It'll have to be about 3ft tall, 8ft long, and 6ft deep. Also, will the rabbits be able to go on top of the hutch and then fall?
I'm planning to give them free-range of garden for an hour each morning and about 2-3 hours each evening. Obviously, I'll be outside, keeping an eye on them and no children or pets will be present at the time.
Also, I'm planning to put them into a separate run on the grass for about 6 hours a day, with at least part of the run shaded. There will be a cover over the top for shade and an animal house for shelter if it rains unexceptedly. I know they'll be able to dig out and foxes can dig in but there will be someone in the house at ALL times. If there isn't someone in the house to keep an eye on them, they'll be put into their hutch until someone is available. Is this a good idea? Here are some pictures of the sort of products I am looking for:

Sorry it's so long. Any pictures of your set-ups will be great. Thanks.
