Plastic Hutches

I was contemplating getting a new plastic hutch for my wabbits and I was wondering what the disadvantages are of getting a plastic hutch. Im sure they are easier to clean and they will love the space in this:

That looks nice.

The only thing is that it looks like the ramps are made of wire, not solid. My bun catches her feet on wire ramps, and once she broke a toe nail in quite an ugly way. But I think if you tape some towels down over the ramps your buns will be happy campers.

Helllo there

Buggsy has a plastic hutch, the disadvantages are - they get hot in the summer, hotter than my wooden hutches so he has to have permenent shade set up as the sun gets on his hutch early...... which is easy enough to do with a white sheet or netting! it's just remembering to do it every night ready for the morning.

Would it be for outdoors or indoors? Just thinking that colour would really soak up the sun....

If for indoors it would be perfect if you could change the ramps to wooden ones so you don't get any nasty accidents with feet getting caught.

The good thing re plastic outdoor hutches is you don't have to worry about treating them for the winter andyou can give them a good scrub without the water soaking in to the wood.

Hope I helped a bit and didnt woffle too much :lol:

Fiddle sticks make good ramp covers. Good and grippy and it doesn't matter if they chew them.

I cant see the measurements :? Its nice and colourful tho.. if you like that sort of thing of course hehehe.

cage is very bright i have never had a plastic one so I wouldn't know.

going totally off the subject (sorry) your dog is called Cerys - well my name is Carys just had to tell you that :shock:
