Hi,
So you may or may not have seen my post in the introductions section. But I recently rescued a female rabbit called Ruby from an unhappy situation where she wasn't getting any attention at all. I brought her home today, but the cage she will be staying in at night, and during the day when I'm out, is too small. It's only 1m by .5m, so I'm looking to buy a hutch for her so she can go back outside.
The only problem is that the hutch I want to get (http://www.welfarehutches.co.uk/7ft_x_45ft_Rabbit_Hutch_Under_Run/p1466125_13551075.aspx) won't be delivered for 21 days, or so it says on the website. I'm worried that in 3 weeks time Ruby will have lost her winter coat and it will be too cold for her to go outside.
What are your thoughts on this? Does anyone know of a good company that can deliver hutches quicker?
What is the longest she could stay inside before it is no longer safe for her to be moved outside again this winter?
I don't have the option of making a suitable indoor enclosure as we don't have the room. At the moment she has free run of the dining room when we let her out. But I'm worried about her going a little bit mad in the cage. Also, she has already (after 1 day) started to rip the wallpaper off the wall. My fiance is not happy with this, and nor am I to be honest.
Any suggestions would be amazing, thanks!
