If you visit the fundraising section you may be aware that we needed to build four new enclosures at Hopper Haven, for the last 8 residents that didn't have permanent enclosures of their own.
Thanks to everyone who has bought valentines bunny bags, easter bags and joined in the rabbit raffle in my attempt to raise funds for these new enclosures.
Altogether these raised just over £200, and have made a great contribution towards the cost of getting these done,along with the Christmas PAP funds and the PAP money we received late 2011..
We now have permanent accommodation, consisting of either a minimum 6x2x2 hutch within an enclosure,or a shed and enclosure, for up to 40 groups of rabbits (around 100 bunnies)....
The site we had to work with
Me and hubbie got the posts in on week one.....
and over the last couple of weeks I have got the gates on and the wire up (the new enclosures are the four new gates on the left hand side)
I'm really pleased that we've got these built now, even though my neck and shoulders are seriously paying the price!!
Thanks to Jennifer for getting the slabs laid, and Lou and Mary for clearing the site in preparation. Between us girlies (and 1 bloke) I think we've done a great job!!
When I left last Friday three of the enclosures had been taken over by the residents, and it was fantastic seeing them have the same amount of freedom as all the other residents, being able to come out of their hutch and dig, lie in the sun, and argue with their neighbours:lol:
The fourth enclosure was having its new owners move in over the weekend.
Thank you again to everyone who has contributed Your money really has made a difference!
