ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh im so dumb!!!

just save the trouble and buy them a new one. :lol: (im really lazy lol - too much effort sanding it)
why is it dangerous anyway? i cant belive i was that stoopid and used it without checking.

do you think it would be ok to use as a litter tray for the garden?
i mean thats all they use it for in their run?

It will contain toxins which are posionios to rabbits if they chew it

Sorry, I don't see the need for the hutch to be sanded down as long as they are not chewing the exterior of it. Indoor rabbits are surrounded by gloss paint indoors on skirting boards, doors and frames. This is outside which is well ventilated not that ventilation is now an issue once the paint on the wood is thoroughly dry.

I would be interested to know if there is some new research surrounding using exterior paint on outdoor buildings / hutches.

The main problem I can see with using gloss is that once it chips or becomes weather it needs to be well rubbed down prior to repainting. Whereas wood treatments dont need so much preparation before repainting.

I mean on the other hand one house we lived in claude chewed the skirting boards quite bad and hes still alive:? and i dont know what that was painted with, but not sure its worth the risk when you do know?

if i am going to use the hutch, its going to be under shelter where it cant be weatherd

wouldnt it be far less poisonous becuase the paint is dry?

and my buns are not big chewers of wood, (actually the hutch is pristine - no chew marks at all) they go for the apple trees instead :lol:

I do agree that gloss can be toxic, but then the same could be said for the chewed skirting courtesy of bailey. woops.
