Well yesterday I was looking on eBay at a 5 bird coop and 2.5m run for them nice and big and cosy too.

Popped out to buy a separate run was out for about 20 mins when I left the hutch was in tact, when I got back the floor in the bedroom part had fallen in:roll:

Casserole has chewed the support fully off:shock::censored:

Back out to buy a new hutch 2 weeks early, was going to put old one outside this week so they had a familiar house then put both hutches old and new and take away the old one repair and use it as a cupboard for the hay and stuff:roll:

£99 hutch £79 run £50 hutch cover total £230 plus bits and bobs
Just off to buy the cover now :roll:
So new hutch and run it the Bluebell Hideaway from P&H I think they like it, lots of room:love:

Could you mesh the inside of their hutch (and any bits of it they can reach) to stop them chewing this one as well? They sure did a thorough job of the old one :shock:

For 250 you could get them a huge chicken coop, shed or dog kennel of eBay, I don't think pets at home make there stuff from the best wood! X
 
The hutch is quite good no ledges to chew :lol: well so I thought :evil:
1 night in the hutch bedroom corner :roll:

:shock: Very impressive chewing ... I suppose it will keep their teeth worn down...

The new set-up looks good, hope they don't destroy it too quickly.

Has Stu shown any interest in his garden neighbours?

Oooh yes and he is not happy at all :shock:

If I touch babies then try to go near him it's a full attack bunny, frightens the life out of me :oops:

But now they are outside bunnies hope he will calm down then the runs can go closer together to see if they can be friends and eventually all link together:thumb: as a happy family :D
 
Could you protect the wood by attaching some mesh to it? I've seen that done on some of the housing pictures on here, might be worth a go?

I may have to :evil: they have apple sticks chew sticks hay straw and various other toys they haven't yet broken:roll: but prefer the wood might just put the old hutch in the run and let them finish it off :lol: not really :?
