Hi,
I'm about to build a good sized outdoor rabbit run and was going to include the hutch as part of the run. However, the run backs onto our garage.
I wondered if it was sensible to provide the rabbits with a cat flap and let them have their sleeping/indoor area inside the garage. That way, none of their run space would be taken up by a hutch and they would be dry and warm(ish). The garage has windows so there would be natural light. Also they would be able to go in and out of their own accord.
However, I would have to cordon off a corner of the garage as its double length and we use it for lots of other stuff as well. We have a car in there - a rarely used sportscar and at the bottom end whereas they would be at the top end under a window.
Would I be better off providing them with a proper 6x2x2 hutch positioned at the other side of the cat flap or make another small uncovered run with straw/hay on the floor and a cosy sleeping box? I don't want to get a hutch if its really not necessary.
Many thanks!
