On my (soon to be old) current hutch we added wood to the long legs to make it a double with ramp. I've noticed that the bits we added have started to mould on the outside so I put it down to the wrong wood being used as the original hutch legs and supports were fine. It's worrying isn't it :?
I'm worried that more will start to mould...
Hes currently got plenty of ventilation as the hutch is not covered in any way yet xWhat is boiled vinegar? Just ordinary vinegar boiled?
The hares' shed grows white fluffy mould every few days ... waiting to get money to get them a dehumidifier to dry it out.
I am sure its bad for them. Even the post shed where the quad are gets a bit of mould (outside only so far).
Good ventilation is meant to help. I must drill some tiny holes near the roof on all four sides of my sheds. That may help your hutch as well.

I have mould in the Summer House half way up the walls :evil: they are coming on 19 December to have a look £800 + it cost me for the buns and it's only been up 6 months they better fix it
My hutches did get some but a good airing and I think I used bleach water or possibly vinegar to clean it and touch wood its stayed away but fully covered I just keep an eye on them and wipe straight away if I find any
Its lack of ventilation, if it can not dry out it will get damp and then mould will grow on it.
It’s the reason I make my shutters larger than they need to be as you need good air flow to stop it staying damp inside. Also I advise against covering with anything as this can have the same effect by blocking out the air.
Well either there is a leak by the roof or it’s not enough airflow to the part of the roof that has the problem.Theres loads of ventilation, 2 big meshed doors and a hole in the side for the short runaround tube x
Do you not have air vents around the roof?
No roof should be 100% flat, it should have a slope on it so the rain drips off?I shall have to check for a leak. The roof is flat, could that be a problem?? x
