hi all

you may or may not have read in health about my bunny Gizmo who had an abscess removed back in April. Well to cut a long story short , his bunny wife Alex (who has always been a bit mood swingy etc) wouldnt take him back . She attacked him despite us trying new hutch etc nothing worked :( so Alex lives in the summerhouse in her hutch and yoshi & tiggs are in there in their hutch . Gizmo currently lives in the house while we come up with a solution.
Now alex isnt completely evil and does see gizmo and seem interested, but he has been through too much to be bullied so are plan was to build a new summerhouse which could accomadate three hutches + runs so that yoshi and tiggs have their own private area , then gizmo and alex can have a hutch and run each next to each other so they have company but cant cause harm. The summerhouse is 11" deep by 11" wide at the back & 14.5" across the front. See photos below. any hutch design ideas would be greatly appreciated .

not completely finished yet i will try and take some more pics when its done . but need ideas for hutches. the bunnies do all have play time in the garden and house but want their hutches to be as fun as the house and garden. all they bunnies are between 5-6 and a half so need something for mature rabbits to live out their lives comfortably :)
 
Wow, that's a very nice summer house!

Do be honest with something that well made I'd be tempted to go for pens inside with a box for cover rather than hutches - though you could use raised hutches for extra floor space (or just shelves).
 
Thanks :) it cost a fair bit 😮 but the bunnies are worth it . Plus cost was kept a bit lower with step dad being a carpenter and hubby helping build 😏They will have pens but we are concerned, as at the moment they have three story hutches which they have lived in most of their lives so think they will want a hutch in the pen . Maybe two story instead of three. Also Alex is a nibbler so need to make the hutch/pen fun to keep her entertained. :)
