That works out as 18inches deep and 17 inches high per level not enough room for bunny to sit on his back legs or stretch out on floor of hutch.
I take it, it this is for a bunny?

We've just built hutches for the rescue rabbits at 4ftx2ftx2ft per single bun and there's been mentions that even these aren't big enough.
 
It is tiny and does not comply with the animal welfare act guidelines.

Works such as deluxe are a marketing tool and I would like to see how they qualify such a claim with this hutch.
 
Sorry don't like it either.

It's too small for bunnies to be able to do enough bunny hops from end to end. They're not tall enough for the bunny to periscope either Plus a hutch should be deep enough for a bunny to be able to stretch out across from front to back as well as side to side. A single storey 6x2x2 would be better in my opinion, or failing that a 5x2x2 double storey.

Helen :D
 
oh okay
well i am glad i have had an honest opinion :)
can two rabbits go in one hutch and if so which one?
i might sound stupid but louis is my first rabbit and if i get more
i want my facts straight and i dont want to let them down. :(

Two normal-sized breed rabbits will live happily together in a 6x2x2 single storey hutch. A 4x2x2 double decker provides the same space.
 
where would i get a big enough hutch for two rabbits?

try www.happyhutch.com - remember you need a run aswell ( dont know if you already have one or not!) hutches with attached runs are convenient. :)

if you want two rabbits to live together remember they must be neutered and that a female/male pair is best. not all rabbits get along so you need to introduce them slowly to let them get to know each other.
 
i dont really have room for a shed so thats why the louis is in the garage
- theres no car in there -
theres enough room for two hutches but would this hutch be okay instead?
would it fit two rabbits in comfortably?

The first one in the "6x4x2" option would be suitable for two rabbits of most breeds. Ideally it would have a permanent run attached too.

It's a shame that the ones with less width, eg 5ft double decker, don't have the correct height and depth the rabbits need.
