Hi All :wave:
My OH has suggested that we use our garage to house our 7 buns (the car isn't kept it in). the garage is 8 ft wide by around 18 ft long - I'll have to check that though.
In my mind the issues are these:
They live in 3 groups (2 x 2 and a group of 3) so the garage would have to be divided into an area for each group with protection from each other as they fight if they see each other.
I will need to be able to access each area easily - preferably without climbing over as the dividers will need to be around 4 ft high. The OH needs convincing of this though.
I would like them all to have access to an outside run which would mean a cat flap type thing through the brick wall for each area.
The OH still wants to keep the upright freezer and tumble dryer in the garage.
They already have 2 hutches in there that are 5 x 2 and 3 storey high - one with access to a run via a run-a-round tube out of the door for the 3 buns and the other with an area in the width of the garage for 2 buns during the day. The other 2 currently live in my kitchen. They all get free ranging time on a rota basis.
Has anyone else used their garage could I have any ideas that you may have on doing this.
Many thanks!
