House Bunny Housing

Following on from the thread about people who have loads of bunnies and where they live, I thought we should have one for people who have less bunnies - I don't think I have enough bunnies to post on the other thread. I'd love to see other people's set-ups to give me some ideas to add to what Bella and Tarquin have. They're in their cage at night and during the day and have an hour out in the morning before work and then free range for 6-7 hours in the evening and about 15 hours a day over the weekend.

This is Bell and T's home, which is two cages and a pen all leading into each other (there is a net permanently over the pen bit as Bell jumps out otherwise):

Well I'm not going to post a pic but Billy has a 3ft dog crate and no pen cos he has freedom of the whole house for the time I'm up till the time I go to bed.....he also goes in a run in the garden.

I'll do mine later Becca, Three of mine are in temp indoor accomodation due to the garden and two are in boarding but Mack & Lex's is as it always is (apart from slightly trashed during the night).

Well mines really boring but thought i would show you anyway!


This is where my 2 sleep, eat & poo :lol: Other than that they can run around the whole flat when we are here (Lolly cannot be trusted on her own for even 1 second she destroys everything so they can only be out when we are here)

ETA meant to say that we had to get some garden mesh to put over the top as Lolly can easily jump out of it :roll:

Lolly sounds like Bella :lol: Before I put netting on one day I got home from my mum and dad's and found Bell having a wonderful time :shock: with poor little T sitting the other side wondering where she'd gone. Mine have to be confined when I'm out too or I don't like to think what I'd come home to :roll: :lol: :lol:

I love that bed - so cute

ive posted mine that many times im sure people are bored of it .... incase anyone plans judging my set up in the house or the lack of outside play :roll: my two live in a 3.5x7 foot cage in the front room when we arent about to let them out (passed a house check too ).. they get a minimum of 10 hours out time each day. sometimes more depends on when ste goes to bed in the early hours and most of it is spent lounging under the sofa which is smaller than their cage :roll::lol::lol:

and yup theyll need regular claw clippings because outside isnt a place they rush to get too

ive been loving the other threads pics but as much as i hate to admit it ill never have more than two at a time.. i like them out full time so id never be able to cope with rotating my time with different groups

dont tell ste tho he thinks im gonna fill my house with bunnies one day and i quite like his fear

I'm the same. Much as I love the idea of more bunnies, it was quite difficult when I had to rotate Bell and T's free range time before they were bonded. It worked OK but I constantly worried about it and hated that one had to be in their cage while the other was out - and I like to be round them so though I could have a pair upstairs and a pair downstairs, I'd be missing out on one pair watching them get up to mischief. So I'll be sticking with one pair for now. Of course that's not to say in the future I might not end up with a bonded threesome/foursome :lol: though with the trouble I had bonding Bell and T I wouldn't think about it with them. They're happy as they are.

Alvin and Pearl always look so happy

Yes I feel like that too. Right now my girls aren't bonded and I hate it, I feel guilty when I'm spending time with one and not the other. Thankfully they are getting better with each other and I think they will bond eventually. I have had three at a time, Berri, Pebble and Ebony were a bonded trio and that worked really well. I think I would have more than two, only if they were bonded, but don't think I'd want to go beyond four even then.

haha never thought about one big group.... hmmmmm maybe one day lolololol

WHAT A CUTE SETUP, ITS REALLY LOVELY, BUNNY HAVEN..

:lol: Ive only four but posted on the other thread, I will just copy what I posted

Trip and Scarlett have a 6ft happyhutch



I think this is fine for them at the moment, the run is big enough for them to have a proper jump around and they get out free range in the garden every other day and on the days they dont play in the garden they play in the house. I think im gonna keep this hutch for them when I move because im never going to have a massive garden and they are out quite a lot anyways

This is Buu's old set up





I dont have the happyhutch anymore but I still have the run which Buu and Beau alternate playing in each day while im at work.

Beau was free range in our living room



He just had a bit of vetbed to sleep on, a litter tray and a cardboard box behind the sofa to hide in if he wanted too And there was loads of bunny toys thrown all over the room :lol:

They are both outside in a 6ft hutch each now



They are shut away at night but spend all day either in the house or in the run, and play together supervised most days.

Im looking for somewhere with two bedrooms so Beau can come inside when I move out and have his own little room. I would love to get Buu a shed or playhouse and somehow attach her run to it but that will depend on the size of the place I move too so I dont know if its going to happen yet, its gotten to the point where I am going to take anything as long as it has a secure garden now :shock:

I will definetly be keeping my Ryedale hutch because I love it so much! If I dont get a shed or playhouse Buu will have both levels of this hutch and we will build a run onto the front of it

I've posted these many times before so lots of people will have aleady seen them.

I brought my buns in a couple of weeks before bonfire night and they ended up living in the 'rabbit room' for about 18 months :lol:

I locked them in the crate when I went to bed but each morning opened it up and they had additional room space of approx 4x3 feet.





As well as occasional play on the landing



They are all outdoor now in sheds or the playhouse or the huge 6ft Happy Hutch and run. The pigs (x4) and the kits (x2) now reside in the 'rabbit room'

Love it The only thing is - Bella likes to chew the doors, end of the bed (my bed), the bannisters :shock: - have you had any problems with this happening? I think T would look fantastic in it.
