Buns can be kept indoors as house rabbits (rabbit-proofed house) or outdoors in a safe secure hutch/shed/wendy house either with attached or separate run. Any outside enclosure must be fox-proof and weather-proof as you know. You can also keep your buns in the garage or shed but must allow them exercise time in a run or safe garden under supervision outside to get plenty of fresh air and sunshine. A garage with windows would be better than one without.

The most important thing for rabbits is to make sure they have PLENTY of space with a large hutch and run. Min recommendation is 6ftx2ft for the hutch and 6ftx4ft for the run. It's also sensible not to chop and change bunnies accomodation from inside to outside unless done in Spring or Autumn as they will grow their fur coats accordingly to the place they are living in. :wave:
