Is it suitable for 2 rabbits?

:wave:
I found this hutch and wanted to know if it would be suitable for a pair? (medium sized English Spots is what i've decided on;))

Unfortunately not. The hutch is only 4ft long. The recommended minimum size for a pair of small to medium bunnies is a 6ftx2ftx2ft hutch with an attached 6ftx4ftx2ft run.

Obviously, bigget is better. How about a shed/wendy house with an attached run? It can actually work out to be similar in price to a hutch an run combo.

The 6 foot hutch is the one to purchase for 2 small - medium sized rabbits. Buying something smaller is usually a false economy as they are not suitable for a pair of rabbits, in the long run you will end up upgrading which means it is best to spend the money at the start, rather than wasting money.

With the cold / wet winter weather for myself I would always now go for either a shed or a wendy house they are in the long run easier to clean out and far more human friendly in this weather when you want to spend some time with your rabbits without getting too wet or cold.
 
The hutch and run are far too small.
Have you thought about buying a shed and attaching a run?
It'll be cheaper and will such fantastic accomodation for your bunnies.
