Part of the Hairy Mob's set up :)

Jaypot · May 31, 2008

:wave:

Thought I would post some pics of the Hairy Mob's set up so that I can get some feedback on it all

I'd love to know if I can do any more for them

Things are currently changing all the time with different disabilities being looked after

Some can have dog crates in their pens but others can't due to bad leg problems - however, they can get boxes which I cut low so that they can get in and out

John will be up with me in Scootland

next month and bringing the other eight buns so more things will change

As you can see we use loads of vetbed and fleeces and are always on the look out for more:shock: You should see my washing pile of a morning:shock: Red Rum couldn't have jumped it:shock:

Anyway, will be open to any more suggestions and the buns would like some compliments on themselves

:lol:

In this room are three pens - one houses Timmy-Tickles, Florence and Chewy - one houses Kracker and Possum and the other one houses Little Bob

More of the next room to follow

Jaypot · May 31, 2008

In this room we have Aggie and Bluebelle in one pen, Chloe in another pen, Missy and Hoops in another one and Mr Benn and Elliot in another

Hope you like them

Jaypot · May 31, 2008

Oxo and Libby share a room and have a tris (indoor cage) each - they cannot be bonded as both of them are so disabled that they cannot be neutered

But they have each others company and share out time as well

Libby goes into a pen in the hallway for a couple of hours of a morning and then again for about 6 hours of an evening/night

Oxo comes out to join her in the evenings and they chat through the pen and snuggle up on their pillows

When John comes up next month Fliss will be sharing their room as well as Tansy

Libby in her pen this morning

Libby and Oxo sharing their out time :lol::lol: They really love one another

A paradise for needy Bunnies

I wont offer you my hard-hat Jay, you dont need it as your set-up looks great !! :lol:

I am working on making mine look less 'Shanty Town-like'.............:roll:

Janex :wave:

Jaypot · May 31, 2008

I don't mind Shanty Towns at all :lol: As long as buns are happy then that is all the matters

I find the green panels so useful and easy to move around into different shapes

Also have runs in the garden for the buns to have supervised play times

You will notice that none of the dog crates have their doors on - if they have their own pen then there is no need for the doors to be on and it takes up room just leaving them on

I need more toys and hanging toys for them all - but that will all get sorted out eventually

Little Bob is the worst to clean out 'cos he always wants to help

:lol:

Jaypot · May 31, 2008

Meant to add that John is going to do a shelf in the dog crates for those who can use them

Kracker and Possum can't have one due to Kracker's legs and also Possum gets confused with his eyesight :lol: Timmy, Florence and Chewy can't have one due to Timmy having balance problems and Chewy has intermittent head-tilt so that's a no-go.

If Aggie and Bluebelle get a bit better on their legs then they will get a dog crate and more space as well - but I don't really see them improving that much - but they are very happy re-designing boxes

:lol:

What brilliant set ups, thank you for posting there pictures.

Do you keep any bunnies outside or are they all indoors?

Snowy · May 31, 2008

Do you have any vacancies Jay??, I want to come and live with you:lol::lol::lol:, it looks fantastic and how do you keep it so tidy?, it's really lovely, and beautiful Florence and Chewy!!

Well done Jay, you do a fantastic job with the bunnies xx

Jaypot · May 31, 2008

Hi Liz

We have three buns that live in a bunny-house so they are not actually outside

We have to get two more sheds now and put them together - then we line them and put up curtains

so it's a home from home

It's for Jack, Willow and Nemo - they are buns that like to have their own company and are not happy indoors - so we do the next best thing and give them their own house :lol::lol::lol::lol:

They have radios and lights and heaters - so it's actually warm enough to stay in there

:lol::lol:

All other buns live in the house - which is hard work but worth it

Most of our buns have disabilities who need to be watched carefully so inside is the best place for them

Sooz · May 31, 2008

Jay are the fence pannels the same ones that are on the rabbitrehome home page?

Jaypot · May 31, 2008

Keeping it tidy is hard work - each day they all get stripped out - clean vetbeds, towels, beds and fleeces - and all the litter trays are done daily as well - it takes about 4 hours to get everything done:roll::lol: However, the washing is another matter, that takes all day:shock: At the moment I'm on 15 washes a day:shock: but that's 'cos the bigger washing machine is still with John - when that comes up we'll have two on the go so it will cut the time down

Mind you, there will also be another 8 buns to clean out as well:shock:

vengeful.veggie · May 31, 2008

Looks great! Where do you get the green panels?

Yes Sooz, they are the same ones from PWS Greenline and each order has had the "Rabbit" quoted

That way everyone benefits

We have them outside in the garden as well for their daytime runs - and we need more yet:shock:

They are great but I don't use the springs that come with them - I use the cable ties as they are far easier, don't keep falling down and can easily be cut should they need to be

Sooz · May 31, 2008

15 washes a day?:shock::shock::shock:
I've just been moaning to Phil about having to do 3 in two days

It looks fabulous and tidy and so comfortable. I wish I was a bunny with a human slave to tidy up for me

Jaypot · May 31, 2008

It's mad isn't it? But they do need cleaning out every day due to the way most of them are. Imagine the electric bill as well:shock: and the amount of washing powder I go through:shock:

They love their routine though and considering Libby, Chloe, Mr Benn and Elliot and Missy and Hoops only came here last week they have really settled in

Ali · May 31, 2008

Fantastic, its a lovely setup and so organised.

You do a fantastic job Jay well done:wave::wave::wave:

Oooh is that a Chloe I spot just there at the front by the pink thingy?!

The rooms are looking great Jay, lots of space for lots of lovely happy bunnies

Jaypot · May 31, 2008

I don't know about it being organised:lol: but I do have more things to sort out

I have carriers in every room as well incase of emergencies

If a fire started at least I could get the buns out

I am waiting to get some more food buckets as well - and I need to get some more sprays for cleaning out - oh, and some more dustpans and brushes

Jaypot · May 31, 2008

Hi Alison

Yep, that's our Chloe

That pink thing is a furry boot

She loves it 'cos she can go in and out of it in the holes:lol::lol: I've got to try and find another couple of them :roll::lol:.

I am hoping that Chloe may eventually bond with Little Bob - who is not so little anymore:shock: - but if not then I know that she is happy just being surrounded by buns. Everybun that we have tried her with she's battered them:shock:

:lol: I think she's a bit of a mummy's girl:lol:

AlisonA · May 31, 2008

Awww, bless the little madam and her little strops :lol: Please give her a big kiss from me
