Hiya
All you with outside buns, where did you get your hutches? I'm after a second hand hutch but I can't seem to find one big enough to house my bun and his new partner (not chosen yet but looking at the local animal shelters in hope ). I can't afford new, so is there a place where second hand bunny houses are advertised that I don't know about.
Any help gratefully received.

We got our 4ft by 5ft playhouse from ebay for £100. Then bought a cheap 4ft hutch for £30 - this is put inside the playhouse just as somewhere cosy to hide, but the doors left open.

We then built our own 7 foot run attached to the playhouse - the wood was cheap - £6 if I remember rightly, but the wire was quite expensive - had to buy 2 rolls at £25 each.

We converted a tool shed into a hutch - it is about 5ft high by 6ft long by 2.5ft deep so we put in 2 storeys - it hardly cost us anything to re-roof it and make some rabbity adaptions - the tool shed was already in our garden when we bought our house.

The run, on the other hand which is 5W x 8L x 2.5H with a lid cost lots because of the type of mesh - but it looks extremely fox-proof which was the idea!

Usually somewhere like Free Ads some other equivalent is a good idea, cos they're generally more local than say Ebay
