Looking for a run shelter

[Willow_Warren]

Hi,

I'm looking for a run shelter for my grass run on the lawn.

I'd like something flat roofed rather than pitched so the bunnies can jump on and off if they so like ( the run is 3ft high). I've been quite surprised at the price of some run shelters and dog kennels (the latter seem quite high as well).

This kind if thing would work quite well (with some minor adaption):

But I do not want to support pets at home or the purchase of a small hutch.

Any ideas anyone? Want to get something this week. I do not have a large enough car to transport something not flat packed, so would have to be flat packed or delivery only.

Thanks

Hannah

They have lots of other bits too: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/whelbands...me=STRK:MEWAX:IT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

Personally I would build it yourself We made a nice big box for our two lionlops, and it cost £20 altogether. It was just 5 pieces of thick wood screwed together then painted with Wilko garden paint (which is non=toxic to animals once dry)

You could always take the really simple route and cut an arched opening in a £4 overturned plastic storage crate!

These work well, are weatherproof and the buns can leap onto the top to create an extra level in their pen, as well as using it as a weatherproof hideout.

I was wanting a quick and easy solution, but maybe DIY is the way to go! Don't think it would cost me much either as I have quite a few spare materials.

Puts thinking cap back on!

I made a DIY box and it ended up costing me about £35, would've been much easier to buy one!

Have you seen these? Lots of brands make them: http://www.petscorner.co.uk/small-animal-featured/great-and-small-small-animal-house

How big do you want? I've one of the trixie run shelters and they have a slight slope to the top but not enough to put rabbits off from sitting on top.
