Hutch question....

Gem

Wise Old Thumper
I need a hutch large enough to house six buns, preferably a double hutch, how big's it need to be?

Can I get six buns in a six foot double hutch?

Anyone recommend a decent hutch supplier/builder?
 
What about a playhouse/shed?
6 Buns does seem a lot to go into even a 6ft double hutch :? :?
I am not really the best to pass an opinion though as none of my Buns live in hutches.
Maybe if they are small bunnies and there will be a large run attatched to the hutch the 6ft double will be OK :? :?
Hopefully a better informed person will be along later.

Yes, a shed sounds like a much better option. They need to be able to play without tripping over each other. Maybe you could attach a run to the shed too, or add shelves so they can go up? I like to give my buns the option to get away from each other if they want to.
 
gem b@q where doing the 7x5 sheds for 120 you can see mine if your still comming on monday there is a place near here who will make them for you as to how you want ill look up the phone mumber for you
 
A shed also ends up to be alot less expensive than a 6 foot double hutch. Well from what I've heard anyway from other that live in the uk.
 
I haven't got the space to put a shed unfortunately, 'cos thats what I wanted originally

If I get a shed, they'll have no run space :(
 
ok gem ill take a walk tomorow and ge a price and phone number for the place i know so just to get this right 6foot duble hutch es is this right
 
It looks like I've almost sorted the problem! :lol: :lol:

We're going to attempt to turn the shed round, then praying I can fit all the feed bins in, I'm going to move the big seven in :shock:
 
Thats a good idea actually :lol: :lol:

Carrot cake, carrot juice, spring greens..... the list goes on :lol: :lol:
 
where are they living at the moment? My 5x8 shed was a squeeze for 5 buns - accidents are more likely to happen when they charge around madly - Now there's 4 in there (Maa's seperate since she lost her eye in said accident) it's just right - Benny's on his own in a 5x2 double hutch and it's not too roomy - just right for him, or possibly 2 bunnies - no way would a 6x2 double house 6 rabbits comfortably and safely.
 
Id go with the shed option too. I bought mine a summerhouse and moved them in a few weeks ago. It has made so much difference to my big rabbit who would sit outside all weathers. Now indoors is roomy he likes the warm!
