Here is the pictures of my new hutch I won , my dad set it up earlier !
Can I ask is this a hutch or part of one of the run systems that is available?
Do you mind me asking what size it is as it is difficult to tell.
Looks great Love the pic of Penny in the bedroom bit, and Russel peeping through the hole above :lol:
This is just the hutch I wil be using a tunnel to attatch the hutch to the run once I have money to buy the parts and the hutch is approx 6ft ( 175 cm) X 3ft ( this doesnt incluse the top section)
My honest opinion is that it isn't big enough. :? The "hutch" part is only 3ftx3ft...as is the run. It's great that you're going to add a larger run onto it, but the enclosed space really isn't the recommended size for two buns
I think the sheltered part is fine. Most hutches only have 2ft x 2ft and this one is bigger than that. The open area of the hutch is sheltered on top too so I bet they won't even spend that much time in the sheltered bit.
I do think it needs a run, so I'm glad you're already making plans for that
I think the sheltered part is fine. Most hutches only have 2ft x 2ft and this one is bigger than that.
But the other part of it doesn't have sides and a floor - you can even see from the photo that where it has been raining a bit that the floor is wet on the open side, so that means that whenever it's bad weather, in order to stay dry, the buns would only be able to sit in the dark box part. In a 'normal' hutch they would also have access to the open part and still stay dry because it has a raised floor and is protected on all sides apart from the front.
I think it's a lovely idea and you have done really well to design it and win the competition - but I'm afraid I do think that to be a practical, decent sized all-weather hutch, the open part needs a floor and sides/back added. Then when you have saved up and added the run, it would be much more suitable as a fully enclosed space
Thats your opinion :/ but I think this hutch is fine. Thanks, I really like this design too

At the moment, it's really a 3ft hutch with a 3ft run attached :?

But the floor was already wet when I put the hutch on it earlier, so thats why the floor is wet ! This hutch has only been up for only 2 hours .
