Dog Kennel..

Is a 10ft by 4ft dog kennel suitable for 2 buns?

We are looking at buying something for Strawberry to go outside in and I want something like a kennel really.

I know a 4ft hutch isnt suitable no matter how big the run is so would a 10ft by 4ft dog kennel as the indoor bit would only be 4ft by 4ft?
 
Yep that would be fine :) If you think the overall space of a 6x2 hutch is 12sq metres, 4x4 is 16sq metres so gives more space :) I think Strawbs would love that! :thumb:

Strawbs loves his space! I dont think he ever sleeps so would love the run area.

I have an 8ft run that we made so was goint o get a cheap shed and attach itbut the OH doesnt think a shed will look right on the patio!

What about a wendy house? You can get some really sweet looking ones :) Though i do think the dog kennels look neater :)
 
I have the same size dog kennel/run.We put another level in the sleep area and they love it.They tend to spend most of their time in the run:D
 
yes I think for a pair they are great im really considering one of those aswell.. Though if I get one for 4 - I may get a 10 x 6 one or a 12 ft one.

I think they are so much more secure and I like the fact you can access the run through a seperate door and I can sit in the run with them and keep dry :D

I dont think it matters the shed area isnt 6 x 2 as Becky said the area is still bigger and I know my two wont spend too much time in there - they will be in the run!
 
.. and the fact they are 5ft height as I keep looking at sheds and they are Soooo tall! and as it will be situated right next to the neighbours low fence i dont want to upset them - the only thing I worry about is if we move!
 
I have seen one on ebay that is quite local to me for £125 at the minute. I will keep an eye on it but I am not sure whether having to collect and dismantle it is too much hassle.

Strawbs is going to have to live at my Mums for a while when we move as we dont have room inside and it will still be too cold for him to go out.
 
I think that would be good yeah.

I would love a kennel set up but dont think the parents would agree to four separate kennels :shock: :lol:
 
The shed part of mine is 4x4 and is plenty big enough - it's slightly bigger than 6x2 in terms of area but also, being square, it gives you more options in terms of where you put everything. :)
