Ramp collapsed, check yours

I was just out in the garden when there was a loud bang coming from the hutch. I looked and the ramp had broken and fallen down into the run, while Luna was trying to walk up into the hutch. She is the lightest of my 3 bunnies, but the wooden piece that keeps the ramp in place, had only been stapled onto the ramp itself. My boy friend is now fixing it with proper screws.

Luckily Luna seems to be unhurt, and my other two bunnies were not under the ramp at that moment.

So anyone who has a Happy Hutch combo, please make sure that your ramp is not only held together by staples, that is very unsafe. I should have noticed that sooner. Please add some screws so that your ramp does not break apart on the top end.

Oooh mine are HH - I'll have a look :shock:

I'll go check mine - not HH, but I think most ramps are constructed that way... thanks for the tip & glad no-bun got hurt!

Thanks for the warning, I will get someone to help me put some screws on

mine is screwed already x

I bet you got a nasty shock when that happened :shock: So glad Luna and the other buns are OK.

I wonder if it's worth letting the guy who owns Happy Hutch know what happened? He might want to rethink how the ramps are attached? :?

I told them before that I don't like the fact that all the bits are stapled, both hutches were damaged when I received them, and the pices had come apart where they were stapled together. But I guess it is a question of time and money. My boyfriend always tries to make the hutches and runs stronger with some extra screws, sealant etc..
