I really am going mad. I'm constantly and I honestly mean constantly trying to think of new ways to make my bunny housing better. I know it sounds stupid but i'm verging on obsessed with this.
Currently Lilly and Carlisle are in a (leaking
) 10x10 shed. They have really easy access to the grass from there as well.
Jasper and Dexter have a two tier hutch with attached 7x4 run and the option of easy access to the grass and an additional 7x4 worth of it at that. Trouble with this is its really ugly and a complete eyesore :roll: Also the mesh of the attached run is chicken wire and I'm wary of it all the time to the point of loosing sleep.
All grass play has to be supervised this means Lilly and Carlisle only access outside when I can suppervise so I always feel bad about that even though they have a lot of indoor space.
In the next few weeks the shed is getting a new roof Its my birthday present from OH (I told you I am soo obsessed! ) I would love my bunnies to all live together in there hence my recent thread about scary bonding http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?t=270026 (which I would still love more advice on please)
However if this didn't work out i'd like to split the shed in half for both pairs. Would that be enough space for them? Also Outside space would then become tricky. One side there is an attached greenshouse which we have a taker for and would leave me with a perfect base of 6x4 with a drain :lol: so easily cleaned. Trouble with that side is there is no way of alowing grass access without picking up my bunnies which obviouly they hate.
The other side is the nightmare. I would have to level out the ground as its all broken paving slabs, some concerete and also some dirt with stones in its a complete mess. Also the door is on that side so would need access through the run or the run set back past the door where the ground is even harder to level off and i'd have to cut a hole in the shed for access which I wouldn't have a clue how to do :evil: Grass access would be pretty easy from this side. Aviary pannels would probably be the way forward therefore it wouldn't matter if the door was covered by the run but i'm worried how imposing they would look in our already built up garden we have an additional shed for normal garden storage too. The panels seem to be really expensive once delivery is on top and I don't trust the quality.
What a mess any ideas on either of my threads please? I've been worrying about this ever since I ended up with four buns instead of two. I'm constantly on ebay, classifieds etc... looking for the perfect solution and its over a year now and I still havent found it. I need to stop all this for my own sanity :lol:
