If you do a search on the forum I think you will find lots of good reviews for Ryedale, some mixed reviews for HappyHutch.

Could you not stretch to a 6x2x2?

a 5ft would be better as it would mean i could get the larger run. a 7ftx 5ft run which the bun will have access to all day

No experience of Rydale. I had a happy hutch and run, it was ok but the wood was quite soft

This is my Ryedale. It's very sturdy and well made. It's 5ft x 2ft.

The people who own the company are very helpful too.

I have had rydedales before and they are very solid and heavy and made to last. With them you get what you pay for.

Can I ask what paint you used on the hutch? I have one of these on order and am just looking for some rabbit friendly paint. The colour you used looks great.

Yes...that's what it is....cuprinol, and the shade is willow.

I love it and to me, it looks so much nicer than the original wood colour
