U/D- dwarf rabbit in hutch?

aaammmyyy

Mama Doe
hey:wave:

so i've been searching around for a new hutch for binky and i've just come across this one.

http://www.homeandroost.co.uk/product/8ft-bedgebury-rabbit-hutch-run/

now, i've never really been good at maths-even when i was at school, and this hutch says it has 8ft living space, im confused to as weather this is just the hutch or what
they've got a sale on atm and i really want to get binky a new hutch before summer but im just confused with the math of this!

can anyone help me out, im also thinking this comes with the run?
i hate online shopping but its where all the bargains are:lol:

and sorry for sounding stupid but i dont want to order it and it be too small, obviously the living space has to be rspca standards and this has a run attached but i need to know the size of each, thankyou :thumb:

(i've got my eyes on some other hutches but theyre really expensive compared to this so im hoping this is my hutch:oops::lol:)

UPDATE

that cage is too small and looking through their website and i came across this cage

http://www.homeandroost.co.uk/product/4ft-chartwell-double-luxury-rabbit-hutch/

now i know that its 4ft, but i've worked this one out with my dad :lol: and its 4ft per tier and that makes 8ft in total living space, and im also going to order their 4ft x 4ft x 2ft run with it that attaches to it.

now the problem with this hutch is that each tier is 65cm by my calculations and the rspca standard is 75cm, i was wondering if the 10cm loss will be okay purely because she is a netherland dwarf crossed with a mini lop, she is fully grown and shes still quite small so i think she would be able to stand up, i just want opinions on it really because im no expert at hutch buying or maths
bella lives in a shed and ive only ever bought one hutch before

so basically i want to buy a hutch and use it, im just no good at it:oops::lol:

i know the rspca standards etc but i just want some opinions here to as weather this hutch is fit for my binky , i dont wanna make mistakes

i kind of think it could be 4ft each but im not too sure
i want someone to confirm that it is 4ft each or whatever so that i dont pass up this bargain if its not :lol:
 
The first one is only 4ft of hutch with 4ft of run so not big enough. The 2nd one is 2 tiers of 4ft which is bigger, but still not big enough even with a 4 x 4ft run attached. They need a 6ft hutch so that they can take 3 hops in a row - they won't be able to in a 4ft hutch, even if it's double tiered. They also won't be able to take 3 hops in their run so it's definitely not big enough.

The hutch which zoobec linked looks fantastic, I often recommend it too. The hutch is 6 x 2 x 2 which allows loads of room for hopping, stretching and lying down. The 6 x 4 x 2 run allows more room to exercise too. I'd definitely go for that one - it's better materials and the most well made, and the roomiest.

Home and roost do do their own version, but the wood looks flimsier: http://www.homeandroost.co.uk/produ...ra-large-hutch-and-run-combination-6ft-hutch/. I'd definitely go with the eBay link :thumb:
