New hutch(es) for 3 rabbits needed

M

:wave:

We have 3 rabbits, 2 get on fine but not with the 3rd rabbit who was bought later. They've been speyed today so we're hoping to bond them soon :shock:

Currently, 2 live in 1 hutch/run and the 3rd one lives alone in his own hutch/run.

We're thinking of getting new homes as these ones (from Pets At Home) are falling apart!

Since the rabbits don't get on at the mo, i think we're going to have 2 buy two separate hutches, and maybe join them together if through some miracle they become friends :p

Any recommendations? I've been looking at

They look really tiny to me. Every hutch i've seen doesn't seem deep enough :?
I really need help because i've been looking at hutches for so long but haven't made a decision.

Thank you for reading all that :oops:

HI

I agree with @Kay, they are realy a bit too small.
Wouldnt iht be easyer to build on self?

greetings Lynn
 
What if we bought two of these and connected them together side by side?

http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/rodents/cages/rabbit_hutches/49303

Building one myself isn't really an option :lol:

Just wondering, as i don't have grass, what could i use as the floor of a hutch with run underneath? I currently use wood under the run but it hasn't been that great.I know most come with PVC laminate, but i've no idea where to get that from :shock: :roll:
 
Two would be bigger, but also more expensive.
What about the seconde one at the link from @Kay?
It looks nice.

Because of the PVC laminate, couldn't you finde it in a building center?
You want to keep them outside, am I correct?
What about a floor made with grass pavers or sth. like this?

:D Lynn
 
How about something like this

Each layer is 6ft x 3ft x 2.5 high. We've got them as individual hutches but you could have it made with a ramp going between each layer and then put a run on the front. If you had only the top 2 layers with a ramp and the third witha sealable ramp, if they dont get on then your 2 buns have the top 2 layers and the single a nice 6 x 3 hutch. It was custom made for us from Happy hutch;)

P.S Excuse hubby inside it:lol:

If thats your bloke i feel sorry for him

Why do you feel sorry for him? - he wasn't forced to get in there. He offered to show people a good perspective of how big the hutches are.

i personally dont feel a 3ft double hutch is big enough for 3 rabbits :?

but you can buy the 6ftx2ftx4ft version of the same hutch here :)

http://www.happyhutch.com/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=44&categoryID=6


or you can probably think about a shed? or maybe a dog kennel like this one?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dog-Kennel-Ru...yZ101434QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

im currently in the same position as you im hoping to have a bonded trio soon and if it works im deffinatly considering a dog kennel like the one above lots of space for them :D but i guess it all depends on your money situation/garden space etc.
 
A pair of rabbits would never fit in my 2x4 double due to the ramp taking up most of the floor space - and it's 2' deep whereas the zooplus ones are only 16" measured inside :shock: I've got one of those types of hutches too, used as a garden store as it's too small for rabbits - and the mesh on the run lets mice move in too :?

I would recommend this one for a pair - in the 2x5 size £108 http://www.happyhutch.com/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=44&categoryID=6 it is self assembly though - comes in panels which need screwing together and the beauty of it is the roof is hinged too for easy access to the top part.

I wouldn't put 3 rabbits in it though - a shed would be better.

ETA - I would stand it on concrete pavers too
