Rabbit's Enclosure

Well finally finishe the enclosure I was making for bonding my 3 bunnies, but as Ebuny is still so poorly with Myxi it will just be for the girls.

Day 1:
Well day one of the bunny enclosure did happen today even thought weather was not good. We went from this:

To this :D

So all the hard graft is done. Now to make panels and lay slabs :D
 
Day 2:
Well not as exciting and dhappy event as I was hoping for. So worried about Ebuny. Dad told me I had to go get the stuff and off we went. Cost me about £300 so far.

Laid some slabs to create a work area:

They weighed a tonne carrying one at a time. All this will make the enclosure:

All cut up and ready to make it now:

Will stain them tomorrow and then it will start to be put together if I have time. After it dries.
 
Day 3:

Digging the trench and removing a big plant was back breaking and I can hardly move at the mo.

Also took this pic of Harvey and Holstein I thought I would share:

Day 4:
Ok today I built the new hutch and boxed it in with lino for easy cleaning. Then we started attaching the mesh to the frames, man is that a hard job, I wanted a staple gun but could't get one so using nail staples and a hammer! I had to keep stopping with RSI pain. I am such a woman.

DAy 5:
Well been a busy day today. Dad had to help me lots today as I just could not drive in the fence posts. We managed to do it quite easily and avoided hassle from the wall being in the way. I also fleece lined the hutch with vet bed. Made some little hidey houses and lino lined them and will vet bed line them too. So now I do not know what to do. I made this as neutral territory for bonding the bunnies but Ebuny will not be fit enough for months. So do I just let the girls in. I don't think Ebuny will ever go outside to be bonded with them now. Anyway here are the pics:

gosh thats great, can i aska couple of qs, where is that hutch from? and also where di you get the chicken wire from x
 
Well it is temporary as this is my parents house that I am staying in until I buy my next house. So this will be it apart from toys. Eventually it will have herbs and nice plants round it, an area of grass that they will have supervised time on and a shed or playhouse.
 
Well done :) there's a lot of hard work gone into that and you should be proud :) . That hutch cover is great - is it custom made and where did you get it from please?
