Im looking at options for enlarging my bunny accommodation in preparation for merging 2 singles to a pair (if they like eachother) or bonding them individually with another bun. The trouble is, to maximise space I need the accommodation to butt up to eachother. I have a bonded pair (very loved up) and 2 singles waiting for spring weather to be neutered and bonded however it works out. If I have double mesh layers between accommodation (so mesh, gap where the wood bar sits, mesh) is that ok or is that likely to cause tension between bunnies? Am I better putting a solid wood screen between them so they cannot see eachother?
I cant wait too long before building as Avas hutch is deteriorating and I want to build in a hut into the setup instead. Essentially the second and third setups are a large run with removable plastic screens top and sides (end permanently open for air as the wind doesnt cut through that way and other end backs onto the fence) with a wood end against the fence (instead of mesh) and a 5x2 hut within there (raised about 6 inches off the floor). The setups will include a bunny door so each can be allowed free range time more easily (the garden is completely secure, but free ranging is only allowed when I can supervise due to local cats). Each would also have additional insulation in cold weather obviously.
I dont want to risk messing up my bonded pair, or causing issues to my singles to make them less likely to bond or angering bonds if I have to find a buddy for each single.
