Hi everyone!
I've been looking around the site and I'm a bit worried now that some of my buns need more space. I have 6 buns in total, all in male/female pairs. My conti, Thistle, and his smaller friend Jess live in my shed so they have plenty of room. My other two pairs (all regular size buns!), Pharrell & Daphne and Barley & Marge are in two story hutches. I've seen many RU members say that these hutches aren't suitable I bought them from pets at home, they had RWA approved stamps on so I always thought they'd be good homes for my bunnies. I think they were called Thistle Hall hutches or something like that (I remember thinking they had the same name as one of my buns and I doubt it was Pharrell Hall! :lol: ). I also have a 6ftX4ft run that my two hutch pairs take turns in during better weather.
After finding out these hutches were a bit frowned upon, I've started wondering if I could try to bond one of my other pairs to Thistle and Jess and have them all in the shed. The other pair can then have a hutch and I'll get dads tools out and try to permanently fix the run to it too.
Here's a truly terrible diagram....
And a link to a picture of my shed so you can get an idea of size - http://www.enhancagarden.com/ffgard...79294End;saplb_*=(ffsapcrp4002_CRP_00)3063050
They live in the right side of the shed. The box on the right side of the right side of the diagram (bear with me, this could get confusing!) is a small bird avairy. The little box at the top is a teeny avairy/bird cage for my kakarikis but they're going to live with my neighbours in their big outdoor avairy so that will be removed soon to make a bit more room for bunnies. The storage shelves are pretty big but the bottom shelf has nothing on it so Thistle and Jess can sit on it. They also go under it quite a bit.
Now, my maths skills aren't great so I'm at a loss about how much square foot of space they'd have, but do you guys reckon it will be enough for four bunnies?
Thanks!
