Islay & Jura - New Hutch!

At long last, their Freddie hutch came. It's not as nice as it looked on the website, and is way too small, but it will do as a base for them until I can get a decent one in the Summer and I can sell this thing!

It's major downside is the doors are tiny...I have to take the roof off to clean the litter tray, so I think I'll probably just keep the lid off as its heavy. Kind of defies the point of a snuggly base for them though :roll: It is solid though, should withstan and chewing or bunny bouncing!

Piccies, they seem to like it at least Love the little screwdriver! Very useful.

This was it half built, but I'll be taking this half of the roof off tomorrow

Seeing this pics make me realise I really need to paint the shed! It's on my to do list.

See the size of the doors? Will also make it a ****** to clean.

I had to put the bottles and hay racks on the outside as they wouldn't fit inside!

I am going to paint the walls white and the floor purple I think, as this looks awful! It is clean and dry though, just looks bad from when it was a keg store.

And I have a video uploading slowly...

It looks a lovely base hutch, pity the doors are small.
Your two are lovely

Looks very nice shame about the doors though.

It looks lovely and cosy for them, bit of a pain about the doors but i'm sure they'll be ok without the roof as they're indoors!

They are certainly having fun exploring it! I have a similar problem with a hutch that came free with a rabbit on gumtree. There is nowhere big enough for the litter tray without compromising on how much bedding I put in. It also has a narrow ledge running along beside the door because the down ramp takes up so much space. It's not been well thought out for keeping a rabbit the way we would like to!

I see you have the water bowl that refills from a bottle. Are they good? I have used my zoo plus points to get one. Can't wait!

Looks great for them! Bet they love it

Yes its brilliant. Mine was from ebay, but they have them in P@H too. I have the larger one indoors for the cats. Only downside is if the girls have a hay party in the middle of the night the bowl bit fills up with hay.

But in case this does happen, they have water bottles too

they look like they're very happy with it.

That's a very pretty hutch...goegeoud stain colour...shame about the downsides. What size is it?

Islay and Jura seem to love it

looks a really sturdy hutch - and soooooo 'un-nibbled'

i love seeing pics of islay and jura

It's 5ft x 2ft, but the door is never shut. :wave:

It looks a good hutch and the girls seems to approve - they won't be doing the cleaning out via the tiny doors though! I love the idea of the girls having an all-night hay party. :lol:

Their big butts broke the floor :lol: It's my own fault for buying one of those cheap ones from ebay. Everyone warned me against it...and I didn't listen

But, just been given the go ahead for a 12 x 8ft shed...wooden, brand new and all for them. So this hutch will do them fine in there

The lucky critters!!! :shock::shock::shock: Can I move in too please?

Can't believe they broke the floor though! :lol::lol::lol:

Wow, it looked a lovely size till I saw the buns/litter box in it!

Be careful who you sell it to, in case they shut buns in there all the time?

I love pics of this cheeky pair though!
