Hi guys, this may or may not be hidden somewhere, but I thought I'd bring it up as wondering about this from the discussion going on about new hutch designs.
I'm looking for answers to the follwoing which I hope will help not only myself but others; The total size provided could be provided over multiple levels, but please state this, when answering
What is the recommended size of outdoor hutch (not run) for a single standard rabbit? ie 2x6x2ft etc;
What is the recommended of outdoor hutch (not run) for two standard rabbits? ie 2x6x2ft etc;
What is the recommended of outdoor hutch (not run) for three standard rabbits? ie 3x6x2ft etc;
(The questions above are aimed at rabbits that end up staying the hutch all the time, though I know that is actually a bad situation)
What is the recommended size of sleeping quarter for a single standard house rabbit with access to a free roam at all times?
What is the recommended size of sleeping quarter for two standard house rabbits with access to a free roam at all times?
What is the recommended size of sleeping quarter for a three standard house rabbits with access to a free roam at all times?
(These are house buns who can hop about a room at all times and never locked up.)
What is the recommended size of cage for a single house rabbit that can not free range?
What is the recommended size of cage for two house rabbits that can not free range?
What is the recommended size of cage for two house rabbits that can not free range?
(IE house buns that are confined to their cage/hutch for most of the day but can be let out sometimes)
What is the recommended outdoor run space for a single standard rabbit?
What is the recommended outdoor run space for two standard rabbits?
What is the recommended outdoor run space for three standard rabbits?
(Just the run, not the hutch or any hide holes. or both those with constant access and those confined to hutches)
What is the recommended roaming floor space required for a single standard indoor rabbit?
What is the recommended roaming floor space required for two standard indoor rabbits?
What is the recommended roaming floor space required for three standard indoor rabbits?
(Not thier cage, just the floor space they can run about in. For free roaming or those that get released from their home sometimes)
What is the minimun size of shed/pen space for a single standard rabbit?
What is the minimun size of shed/pen space for two standard rabbits?
What is the minimun size of shed/pen space for three standard rabbits?
(This is for those lovely wendy house type set ups people have. Just the flat footprint without any hiding places)
What is the recommended size of hiding place for those rabbits who have access to a large secured play zone (secured garden/large run/large room/barn) at all time but no hutch/cage in place?
For one rabbit? Two rabbits? 3 rabbits?
Its a lot of information I'm asking for, but I'm hoping with help from the other RUers, when it comes that I can on multiple rabbits I'll know exactly what sort of space I should be offering them. Also to hopefully spread the message to other owners in the showing and pet worlds.
PS What are the LEGAL minimum sizes rabbits can be housed in? I'm wondering how many breeders are breaking the law, and should be warned about their actions.
(I want to be a responsible breeder offering my stock lots of space and company!)
