We have had our two mini lops for 4 weeks. Pip and Daisy are 12 weeks old now.
They have a 5ft x 2ft double hutch with extra height from the Rabbit Hutch Warehouse.
This weekend my father-in-law has built them a 8ft x 6.5ft x 3ft run with 3 removable roof sections. I have also today built them two platforms and a wooden shelter. The two platforms are quite slippery for them, any advice on what to cover it in to make it less so. I was considering a short artificial grass. Any opinion/advice on this?
My wife has made a couple of temporary things out of cardboard boxes for them, like a digging box filled with straw and hay, and a little cardboard shelter as well. My concern is that these will eventually get very wet and become pretty much useless. Any advice on replacements which will be better?
The hutch and run will be connected with a Runaround system once it is delivered.
She is also thinking of putting a large tray in there growing fresh grass as well once they are old enough.
I'm putting a hay rack in there tomorrow, or would hay in the wooden shelter be sufficient? They do have a hay rack in the hutch as well.
As we are totally new to keeping rabbits, we would appreciate any further advice on what else we could put in it for them etc. Anything that is in there now that maybe should't be in there and any other general advice regarding the current set up.
These rabbits have completely taken over our lives, and the children love them and they can now play and interact with them in the run, which is brilliant.
I have attached some photos.
Thanks in advance.
