My rabbits live in pairs in hutches which are on top of a run, on slabs. The hutches are 5ft wide, 2ft deep, 2ft high and the run underneath is 4ft by 5ft. Up until now they have taken it in turns to have free run of the garden for at least 2 hours a day each pair. They hop out of the hutch on their own and go back in when i put food in the hutch.
I'm now thinking of getting or making them a bigger run on the grass due to garden refurbishment. I want to buy some plants and the rabbits have previously eaten ones i have bought in the past.
I have been looking at a run 8ft by 4ft for a pair. I feel a bit bad because they like to run really fast round the garden and they won't be able to get the same amount of exercise in a run :? Also i will have to transport them into the run from the hutch which either means picking them up, which they won't like, faffing around trying to get them to hop into a carrier or training them to come out of the hutch and go into the run by bribing them with food :?
How much space does your rabbit get to run around in and for how long a day?
Does it have a separate hutch and run and how do you get it from one place to the other?
