I might be getting rabbits in march for my birthday. I have a few questions
1. What makes a rabbit hutch fox prof?
2. What do you do with rabbits when you go on holiday?
3. What's the minimum size hutch a pair of rabbits should have (in cm please) ?
4. Do rabbits need to go to the vet other than for spaying/neutering?
5. Will fake grass affect rabbits if they are on it?
I will answer what I can but I have indoor bunnies so lets see-
Foxes are very crafty- they can undo latches and bad quality locks or bolts. They can also break the wire mesh if it is not strong enough and they try hard enough.
They can also dig under the hutch/run.
So what I would do is- get a wendy house and reinforce it by means of digging down deep and create a stone/paved bottom and sides then put the wendy house inside. You could do this with a hutch or run.
If I was using a hutch setup I would reinforce the wite mesh by putting extra layers of really strong galvanised wire over it.
Also all locks should have a strong padlock.
In regards to holidays- we dont have them :lol:
In the past when we lived closer to family or with family they would watch them.
There is also the option of bunny boarding, there are some great boarders around but my buns get very easily stressed so it would not be fair on them to put them in boarding.
Size of hutch and run I cant say to be honest.
Yes rabbits need to go to the vets for other things too-
Vaccinations are soooo important! They need to be vacconated against both myxomatosis and VHD.
They also need general heath checks and teeth checks as well as claw clipping. I aim to see the vet at least every 6 months.
The grass I dont know.
Hope that helps.
