The cover I have for the hutch is very snug fitting, we really struggle getting it on and off.
In this weather we always take it completely off – as opposed to just unzipping the ‘windows’ and clipping them up – as it allows Pip more air flow around the bottom section of her hutch, so obviously on a daily basis it is put under strain when putting on/taking off.
Me and my sister carefully put the cover on at approximately 10/10.30 every night, but last night it split slightly at the side while putting it on. I had a major panic but managed to carefully pull it on without making the tear worse, and again managed to do the same this morning.
But now I am really worried about putting it on later on – in case it splits further.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Or know of any other hutch covers to fit a 6 foot wide double storey hutch?
I am really worried as I go on holiday Saturday morning for a week, and my neighbours are caring for Pip (they have a rabbit & have been a great help answering all our questions etc). Obviously if the cover splits ill be worried sick that she isn’t able to be covered up at night (we have a large fox population). I know the cover isn’t FOX proof – but its an extra deterrent.
On my return, I will probably un-pick one of the seams that goes right down one side and replace with a long zip, as well as adding zips to below the windows too. But now I am in a right panic with only a few days to go – eeek!
