Rabbit House help please!

Lynzxx · Feb 29, 2008

Hi everyone :wave:

I'm getting 2 rescue rabbits very soon so I'd like to freshen and change the wendy house that my last bunny used to live in. It's the kind that are sold for kids and is approx 5ft x 5ft.

I'd like to put in some sort of 2nd floor/ledge but I'm not sure what angle the ramps will need to be for the bunnies to use it. They (although I haven't got them yet!) will be mediumish size lops......are there any guidelines or do I just make it as shallow as possible?

Also, not sure if it's a daft question or not :? but will I have to put a barrier up for them so they don't fall off the ramp or ledge?

Any help or ideas will be muchly appreciated!!

Thanks
Lynz xx

A ramp has to be fairly shallow otherwise it's hard for them to get down. I always thought about having a barrier against a ramp (if I had a ramp!!), cos my previous rabbit fell down the side of the ramp and broke her back. Loads of people on here have ramps in their hutches so it's rare for an incident like that to occur. I would prefer a box/step for them to jump onto to get to the top floor, than a ramp.
