My dad has been a very busy man- upgraded accommodation

Sky-O · Oct 28, 2011

And don't we all appreciate it!

He has spent time over the past few months (bit here and there) converting the 6ft by 2ft double storey hutch to make it the best it could be, and he has just finished joining it, using the Runaround System, to a 5ft by 5ft run.

Oh The Dopeys and Lightning LOVE it!

I'm so grateful to my dad and I love it too.

6ft by 2ft double storey hutch (and Lightning)

Showing the roll down plastics- both levels have this and they can be hung at any height over the front, depending on what is needed.

5ft by 5ft run, without full weather proofing on

How it's joined

The inside Runaround join

View from each end (with all weather proofing on)

One Dopey and Lightning can do the tunnel both ways, one Dopey can do it one way, but I haven't seen her do it up the other way- the only way I will know is if they are both in the hutch together.

I'm chuffed

That looks brilliant and i'm sure your buns will love it

it's awsome having a dad that is prepared to help out isn't it, mine helps with every animal related project i can think of

Fantastic, what a great idea. I must be so cute watching them go in and out.

that looks great :thumb: they will be such cosy bunnies with still lots of room to play come the colder months

ripminnie · Oct 28, 2011

That's cool

I'm thinking of using runaround when we eventually build a run to attach to Daisy and Digby's kennel

Brilliant! :wave: I'm not surprised they love it; it looks great

Angie B · Oct 28, 2011

What a fab set up! You must be so thrilled, especially as your dad is obviously a good handyman (mine too). I hope you've told him how appreciative you are

big hugs go a long way and are more precious than anything else :thumb:

martlou · Oct 28, 2011

Ooh I love the little tunnel thing in particular

Sky-O · Oct 28, 2011

Yes, they will have permanent access to the run unless it's exceptionally, exceptionally cold.

:? Of course he knows how much I appreciate all he has done. I've made it very clear. Can't think why I wouldn't really.

Looks amazing.

HS · Oct 28, 2011

Fantastic! I love it

I love the way the bunnies look so tiny in their hutch - it must be huge. And you must get a video of them popping out of the hole!!

Sky-O · Oct 28, 2011

The bunnies all weigh between 1.3-1.5kg so are pretty tiny.

Getting video shouldn't be difficult

The way they charge through it is awesome.

When I left them tonight I had given them some pellets and then put in loads of hay and left Lightning peering in the tunnel from one end and The Dopeys peering back at him from the other. 'You got any pellets in there?', 'nope, you got any in there?' Just tickled me :lol:

Fifibutton · Oct 28, 2011

That looks brilliant and its really weird but my dad just did some weather proofing on our run today. He used the same corrugated sheets as yours did and some roll up roll down plastics for the wind and rain. Dads are awesome

loppy ears · Oct 28, 2011

Well done Sky-o's dad, it is great

rabswood · Oct 29, 2011

Brilliant :thumb:

Sky-O · Oct 29, 2011

Thanks guys

The Dopeys and Lightning are loving it and able to use it very successfully, choosing between the hutch and the run for where to be (for a Dopey, that's a pretty hefty choice :lol

. I'm so chuffed for them
