I hand wash vet bed aswell, otherwise I would have my washing machine concking out with hay in it, it gets intertwined in the fibres.

I wash all my bunny blankets in the washing machine, but I put then in a pillow case first and cable tie it shut so that the hay doesnt escape :D
 
I don't wash vetbed - can't really get it in the washing machine so just spray it with vinegar/water mix and leave it out to dry. I do wash towels and duvets though - give them a good brush or vacuum or shake, depending on what it is, and it's fine.
 
I reckon around 7 hrs a week just cleaning/feeding etc.
If I included supervision time for freeranging I'd be around 70 hrs a week.
 
For my 2, I think I spend about half an hour each day sorting/chopping/skewering their veg, topping up hay and water, and cleaning out the litter tray. Some days I sweep out the bottom level, as they have unlitter trained themselves in the past few months, so there are poops everywhere, and that takes a couple of extra minutes.

I also hand feed them half of their pellet allowance, but I don't include that as it's more for my benefit (they only pay me attention when I've got food :roll:) than theirs!

I clean them out properly once a week, which takes me anywhere between an 10 mins and an hour. It very much depends on the weather :lol:, but as an average I'd say about 30 mins, although 10 minutes of that is sneezing violently cos I'm allergic to hay! I get rid of all the hay and completely empty the litter tray, then fill it all back up again!

about an hour a day (putting them out/ bringing them in thier runs, feeding, water bottles)
Takes me about 3 hours to clean them every week though
