Indoor bunnies- do they need their own space?

Hi,

I was wondering whether rabbits need their own space or just maybe a hutch in the free-range area.

There is 85cm x 130cm area sort of unattached form my bedroom (attic) which could be perfect as a bunny area, but I'm not sure how I would attach a tunnel (to get into my bedroom for free range) or what to use as walls around that area.

It might be easier If I just put an armchair there and use it for me and put a wooden hutch in my bedroom. Would this be OK?

I find it's good to give them a litter tray and 'bed' area of their own that they can retreat to if they wish. Some buns like to have a covered area, others like open surfaces and if you provide a lovely covered den will simply use the top of it!

Other than that, I have never provided hutches or cages for my indoor buns, unless needed for special reasons i.e. health ...

I tend to keep some carpet/rugs just for them, and they also have their own padded beds. Having said that, some buns prefer the floor :lol:

Frosty and Snowflake used to be in half my bedroom with litter trays and a wooden shelf that they liked to go under. They slept on the rug and only sometimes went into their (screamingly expensive and small) indoor cage.
