hutches...

i would say the second one thats what my 2 lionheads are in when im out. and they seem happy enough.
i would say search ebay there are alot of hutches on there for sale at the min.
i just recently brought that double hutch of ebay good condition for £50 includnig food bowl and a few other extras.
bargain!!
 
The second one would be suitable but I have found that P@H hutches are not the best quality. If you have space I would suggest a shed or playhouse with attached run instead or even a dog kennel and run if you have the funds for it :wave:
 
I would avoid PAH hutches. I don't find them very weatherproof and you could probably get a better one if you shop around. Might even be better to get a quote from a joiner to make you one - that way you could design it yourself. We have a pet shop local to us where the owner is also a joiner and makes fantastic hutches at very reasonable prices. :)

hey thanks for all your comments. i have now decided i will get a shed for them to live in. i think it will be good for them in the winter when it snows and hopefully will keep them protected from the elements a bit more. but is there anything i would need to do to make a shed more rabbit friendly?bit of a silly question i know but would it be too hot or stuffy for them?

I could well be in the summer - you will need to make a weld mesh panel to fit where the window is now so that air can flow in. I don't have a shed myself but I know that's what most people on here do :D

A shed is a great idea as you can go in & sit with the buns without getting cold & wet! You might like to line the floor with lino & create a second level to increase the area the buns have to explore. There are lots of photos of other peoples set ups on here so worth having a search around :wave:
 
creating a second floor is a great idea. i hadn't thought of that. thanks- i cant wait to get started!:D going to search for what other people have done now to get ideas...:wave:

Rabbits are great chewers of wood, so get shiplap rather than overlap as there's less to get their teeth into :)
