Hello, I'm a total newbie to rabbit keeping, so much so that I don't have any rabbits yet :lol:
I would like to explain my plans to you all and get your opinions on them if thats ok??
Ok, buns first. Not totally decided yet but would like to get some rescue buns as they need me most. They also have the added bonus of possibly being spayed already and bonded too. I'd like a boy/girl pair if poss but not really set on it though, I'll see what is available at the time. Ideall they'd be small to medium size. I have aproblem with this though as I live in Orkney and the rescue centre here is stopping taking buns in as she's over-run with cats and dogs and can't cope with it all. Do you think centres in Inverness or aberdeen would be ok to let me take a pair of buns home in carriers? They'd be in the car and/or boat for a few hours...
Next, my hutch and run plans. My Dad has been persuaded to make it for me, he's a builder/joiner and a bit of a perfectionist so it should be a good one. The hutch will be approx 5ft wide by 2ft depth by 3ft high, does this sound ok?? The run will be approx 6ft long by 5ft wide by 3ft high. There or thereabout anyway. The base of the run will be concrete but i am planning on planting some grass boxes for the rabbits so they can have grass too.
How am I doing so far?? :?
