How big

Would a hutch and run need to be for 4 buns. I dont have loads of space, but have seen a few ideas.
 
Hmm, I dont know if this is right or not :roll: but I have a 6x3 double storey hutch, if you added a decent size run to it, I'd be happy keeping 4 buns in there :) X
 
We've got a poppy house & an enclosure around it it's fab.. Only houses 1 foster bun thought at the moment...
 
I wish there was a square footage guideline for one bun then you could just multiply it by how many buns you had!!!

Would be so easy then!!!
 
I've got 4 girls in a (roughly) 5'x8' shed, which is just right I think - With a hutch you'd need a triple and with all the floorspace you lose on ramps, it would have to be a 5' triple - I dread to think how big and heavy that would be, like a large wardrobe :shock: - plus the bottom is a pain to clean out on your knees, and the top is too high - A shed would be much better especially if it's raining - depends how much room (and money) you have really :)
 
LOL, yes it would be great. Thing is, Chance is quite lazy being a lop, whereas Flo being a Dutch, is very fiesty. So a bit confusing. I think I will end up with a Playhouse, and using one hutch as a crash out station x
 
I would go for a shed, lost more room for the buns (and you).
And when it's windy and rainy you dont get wet cleaning them out.

A shed would be my choice every time, I cant imagine spending an hour with my buns standing outside in the rain :D
 
i think someone should invent one of those calculators like you get for rat cages.
just type in the cage / hutch measurements and it says how many you can keep in it

what about one of those dog kennels in the same style as those other links but has a run on the front. have seen piccies of one as a rabbit hutch and it looks fab!
 
Steph that looks perfect. I cant do anything until I move tho :( How much did that cost you, and was it a company who built it?
 
I would go with a shed I think.

And an area 6 x 4 with attached run would be ok i would say, as 6 x 2 is recommended for a pair.
 
The calculator would be difficult for rabbits thought, because it depends on if they're outdoors or indoors and how much time they get outside etc etc.

if the rspca say 3 X 6 for two or whatever it is I guess someone could work out the sq ft of floor space and make a calculator using that?
