Hi guys,

I've decided to take the plunge and get those two bunnies I was talking about.
I'm bringing the hutch home with me today, but I was just wondering, is it advisable to treat the wood so that it lasts longer with rain and such? Or would this harm the rabbits?

Any fence paint should be harmless to plants and animals. check the container just to be sure. the really good one's have a wax base to make them water resistant.

I asked this advice a few weeks ago and was told about the P@H wood stain. I bought some and the carpenter who has made my run says it's brilliant stuff
