New here - Is my bunny home big enough?

Hi,

I have 2 rabbits, they were kept in a 5ft x 2ft x 2ft hutch with access to the garden when we came home from work.

They have now been upgraded to a 4ft x 4ft x 4ft kids house with an attached run of 7ft x 3ft x 2.5ft.

They also have the run of our garden for at least 3 hours each evening when we get home (it is a secure garden nothing can get in and bunnys can't get out, there are no predators around and we keep a close eye on them from our lounge/diner when they are out so they are safe)

Do you think this is enough space?
 
:wave: and welcome!
Dof htey have permanent access to their run? It sounds like they have a lovely life, especially getting a run around the garden.
 
Yes they do have access to the run at all times, it is on paving slabs so they cannot dig out, which is why they have a run around the garden so they can eat the grass and have a hop around on soft ground.

I'm going to buy 3-4 cat litter trays and plant some grass and herbs in them and then rotate them in the run so they can have a nibble during the day, although they have hay at all times.
 
that sounds lovley im in th prosess of up grading snoweys hutch now she s getting a husbun might just join the 2 4 foot ones together and have 8 foot plus the bottom leavel nice big bunny house
 
HI, and weclome to the forum:wave: Your set up sound fab, and they must be very happy bunsters:lol:
 
Hi!

Your set up sounds very like mine will be when I put my new run on the playhouse. I've also got a shelf in my playhouse and they have plenty of space and love sleeping up there.
 
I was planning on putting a shelf in as well, do you think they will need a rmp or will they be ok just jumping up there.

We have put lino down as well to stop wee soaking in and they have a carry case in there for a toilet as they don't use a litter tray (they like it to be 'private' when they go:roll: )
 
Hi there and welcome :wave:

Your bunny home sounds lovely, a real palace. I'm sure they must be really happy. Piccies would be great!!!!!!:D :oops:

My two just hop up onto their shelf but they are still young and spritely! When they become more elderly I'm going to give them a ramp (if they haven't become house rabbits by then).
 
You could always use a strudy box as an intermediate step for them..something else to sit on! Put a brick inside it so it doesn't move though.
