Hi Guys

I have a 10 week old french lop, looks like she is going to be a big girl. She is inside with me at the moment but I would really like to get her outside as although she has lots of space to run in the house I need to lock her in a dog crate while I am at work and think she would benefit more from an outdoor enclosure and permanent run with free range when I am home (plus she is a real chewer...only had her a 2weeks and she has gone for curtains, sofas, skirting boards etc etc...(she was an outdoor bun until I brough her home)
I also have a neutered male dwarf lop, they will be bonded once she is spayed...all being well!!! But for now everything will need to be temporarily divided!

So anyway what I am getting at is that I would love to see your Frenchie outdoor accomodation if at all possible to get afew ideas! xx

They sound a nice size!!
Did you have them built or make them yourself...I have been looking at the BIG hutches available and it blows my mind a little how hutches cost more than a shed:shock: x

If you really have to cage your rabbit then a large 8ft shed would be the minimum I would choose. I would also have an attached run of at least the same size and freerange time as much as possible.

This is for regular buns but you could do something similar I think, as long as you had a very big run as well. The hutch is 2.5ft deep about 6.5ft long but I only made the lower level 2ft high so you could make that higher.

Using aviary panels you could easily make a large aviary style run 6ft x 9ft or even bigger

My OH built it himself - handy and much cheaper than buying it all!!

in hindsight id buy a shed to be honest - huge amounts of room for the not-so-little chaps!
