That is pretty much exactly what I want. Do you find the rabbits have enough room? It will have 2 rabbits in. And, if you don't mind me asking what was the total cost of the entire thing, including wood and mesh?
Yes they have plenty of room in there, it's about 6 1/2ft long and 2.5ft deep and as you can see has two levels. They don't spend much time in there though, they prefer the run most of the time. I wouldn't worry about locking them in the hutch over night though if I had to, with a few toys they should be happy. But normally I just let them in the run 24/7 as it's secure.
I'm afraid I don't know the total cost, I daren't add it all up :?
I used quite a lot of timber, you could get this a lot cheaper from a local timber yard, I think I used about two packs of timber from wickes with about 8 or so pieces in each pack. I just used bits of mesh that were lying around, as you can see I didn't use much of it at all, just for the two doors. You could get this cheaply in wickes. The most expensive part would be the plywood that I used for the flooring because I bought 4ft x 2ft pieces and the hutch is 2.5ft deep, so had to mount it in an awkward way and use loads of it :?
The run I added one cost about £200 but is 6ft tall so that I can get in there and get to the hutch. I would probably get a smaller 3ft run next time and mount it on to the back of the hutch instead with a little door. You can make runs a lot cheaper using bulk timber and bulk mesh but I didn't have time when I needed it.
It's actually sticky back plastic that I've put on top of the floor. I don't think I would use this again, it's too slippery for the buns. I'm probably going to try lino instead, but obviously would have to remove it if they start eating it. I hope they don't
