    cant kick ear infection

    i think it must be wax then because there is no smell anymore. although there was a smell when i first took her to the vets with the problem. thanks for the advice. i'm just considering weather it is a problem worth letting the vet put her under GA for. She's been really poorly for the last year...

    cat flaps on hutches

    thanks all. They have all just about worked out how to use the flaps now. I taped one door open over night and left the other as is. I'm glad they picked it up with the weather we've been having. I've put there drinking bottles in there now and they havent frozen so it must be warmer. Thanks again.

    Extending this hutch?

    if u want to make the hutch bigger then you could clad the hole frame with the same timber cladding thats been used on the shelterd area and attache a 6x4x2 run to the front of it.

Its not too cold in there for her but...
