my bunny's accomodation

here is hermione and oscars nearly finished home its a 14X4ft 'enclosure'/ run.
all that needs doing putting mesh under the door, and the bottm bit of the fence, to stop them digging out.



with the door on it

gawddd its been a hard day for the buns helping us out build this :lol:


BTW - that vent is a steam vent. it is completley out of reach, and cannot harm the rabbits in any way.

does anyone have any constructive critism for me?
any tips on how to fox proof it?

the buns have 24/7 access to this, and the hutch (hutch is never shut) and i lock them in here at night only. they have free range to the garden all day.
its not great looking, but its practical, and they love it
it only cost around £35 to make as well!





:wave:

ohhh lucky buns... its brilliant

I am hungover today so can't think of any fox proofing ideas right now. Sorry am useless haha. Just wanted to say I think it is ace! :thumb:

Do they jump up and use there trays like that or was it cleaning out day?

Oohhh are they are giants?

thanks guys!

yep they do jump up and use the litter tray (but it was cleaning out day :lol ive tied a small box of hay together, and used it as a step, and when theyve eaten some of it, i replace it with another one. they hardly ever use the hutch to poo now. they just jump up and use the trays


and yep, theyre giants

yep they do jump up

giants? Jumping? Tell that to my lazy beggers :lol:

Looks like a great space for them , but you're right to be worried about foxes - they'd easily clear the gate :?

Hi, it looks great.
I've heard that foxes can jump 6 foot fence panels (well, half jump, half clamber up them). It looks as if part of the run doesn't have a roof & I think I'd put some wire mesh over that just to be on the safe side.
Lucky buns to have such a nice home!

Great roof. Good idea.

thanks guys
those rabbits are spoilt silly by me :lol:

Yep foxes would clear the gate but does that roof go right up to the gateto block there entry.

there probably a foot gap between it.
ill probably put some mesh there?
dont know what will work!!


:wave:

You probably need to build a triangular frame for the gap and mesh it. I'd dig out under the gate and put a proper threshold in eg a row of bricks, to stop digging underneath too.

Looks good though
