Yep haha :lol:
I'm thinking of getting it myself when I get paid

You can also change the direction the hutch faces, so you can have the traditional hutch and the back, run in front for a better view of the rabbits, or you can have hutch to the front, run at the back which makes cleaning much easier as you don't have to lean over a run

I kind of wanted it to be more like this..
http://www.petsathome.com/shop/summ...rples-n-grant-(available-in-store-only)-38775 But 6ft.

As i have a big run they can use anyway.
I also wanted it to fit in a wendy house, And i need to put two in there.
Thanks :)

Just fit out the wendy house for them?
I wouldn't class that as a hutch with a run, that just a double level hutch. There are numerous places you can get them. Happy hutch, Ryedale, Delton Pets,
you can order any hutch off here in 6foot via email http://www.rabbithutchwarehouse.co.uk/hutches.php

Opps, sorry wendy house was probably the wrong way to describe it.
Its like a massive shed thing with windows that open and like a barn kind of door, so not a typical shed..
More like a summerhouse, playhouse kind of thing.
Yes they are more like what i wanted.
Thanks :)
 
I would say a happy hutch one :D those pets at home ones aren't amazing I don't think, wood wise and I don't think the run lifts open at all :?

Gotcha :wave:. So you don't need to go top dollar for top quality wood then as they won't be exposed to the elements.

Good luck and keep us posted :wave:
 
I just wanted them to have more space in the hutch than just a single layered hutch.
Hopefully all this work will pay off in the end. :lol:

:wave: the main problem with 2 levels is that the hole in the top floor and the ramp in the lower floor take up usable space so it's important to get a decent depth and height. I'll try and take a photo of inside the hutch I'm getting rid of to show you what I mean
 
I know what you mean, the hole gets rid of space, and under the ladder also gets rid of space.
Im looking at a 6ft by 18" by 36".
would this be okay?
Thanks :)
 
I got mine from http://ukpetsonline.com/
VERY reasonable, very good quality and my boys love their hutches.
Make sure you have spare bolts on hand, as we added an extra one to each door because we have a lot of foxes where we live, but they are very sturdy and secure.
Awesome delivery time, it came within 2 days.
Only possible downside is that it comes flatpacked, but I think of that as more of a challenge then anything else ;)

DON'T be put off by the slightly dodgy looking website, or the very cheap prices, I was very, very impressed by the quality.

:wave: Personally I don't think 18" depth is enough - 2 feet is the minimum really for decent usable space.

Here's 2 of mine relaxing in 2 1/2 feet depth

and as you've seen, they wouldn't be able to do this in 18 inches because of the hole

Also, I don't know how big your buns are but again 2 foot height each level should be the minimum to allow them to periscope:)
