Dad said I'm aloud to convert his almost finished nursery into a bunny run. And put a cat flap in the door so he can go in and out. I'm planing to still put shelves in there so I can grow herbs and vegies for him to eat.
This is his set up now, showing the door and half finished nursery.
The nursery's frame is made out of (unfortunately) treated pine. I would have to put wire around it anyways but I may also get the same in untreated timber and put it on the lower half to make sure the bunny can't get to the treated bits and then wire over the top.
Showing the frame...
Some shots showing the nursery.
I also want to put another cat flap leading from the nursery/run to an outside hutch so then I have the option of also completely locking him in or out. But I can't decide what shape/size would suit the area. I was thinking of extending one side of the nursery and puting an enclosed part to be their hutch or I could still put shade cloth and wire on the sides and do a catflap to a seperate hutch off to the side of the run/nursery.
Here are some photos showing the area etc around the run/nursery...
SO which side of the run/nursery and what type of hutch and where should I put it?
Or should I just totally ditch that idea and get a seperate hutch and run and put it in my backyard?
To help you decide here's some pictures of my typicall australian backyard...
Amongst the willows? (BTW: Are these the smae willows you get the twigs off??!!)
Maybe on the island??? Aparently foxes won't go there thats why its there, for birds who nest in grass, aren't we such an animal family?
