Mai all your friend has done by making that comment is reveal her own ignorance! I hope she didn't upset you, I think it's a lovely hutch and your buns always look so happy and healthy in their photos 
PS if you don't feel up to making a ramp at the minute but want them to have an easier climb down, you could just put a box there to act as a step.

.. they had a ramp, but the kept falling off it. And there used to be a box there, but they kept moveing it, i have tried serveral things, but the just move it. :roll: They are happy with it like that at the minite, obviosly, when they get older. It will be modified, well. Thats if the hutch lasts that long, they just eat it! Its so chewed :lol:
I bought the hutch, and added the floor

Too big?? mine have free run of my flat and I STILL feel I want to give them more space! Some people are just very uneducated when it comes to rabbit care, but that seems rediculous! Does she think rabbits live in small cages in the wild??!!

Mine did that, not sure if you could get access to do this, but with mine I added a hinge to either side , attaching one side to the hutch and the other side to the ramp, that way the ramp has some movement, but will not fall off.
As for the raised floor, a touch of genius I think, I am constantly worried about wet paws as I live on a hill, and all the water flows through my garden.

Your buns hutch is fabulous!!
It really upsets me when I think about all the ignorant parents that buy their children bunnies and stick them in a cramped hutch at the bottom of the garden, and when the child gets bored of it they often get no cuddles or company and are cleaned out once a blue moon. It really makes me sad and angry when I start thinking about this, I don't think buns are good pets for children at all unless they have responsible bunny loving parents with a wealth of knowledge on bun health and happiness who will gladly take over when child gets bored. they're such sensitive delicate little creatures and I know for sure I wouldn't want noisy excitable children around my girls.
It's great to know that everybody on this forum is absolutely loopy about buns and gives them the absolute best care and life they can, I'm so pleased to be part of this group xx:no: :bunny::bunny::bunny:

:lol:.I think you've got a brilliant hutch for them, the more room the better! I had my hutch made, its 8ft long by 3ft two storeys high, whenever we have someone come round who hasnt seen it they always say the same as your friend! I guess people just have no idea and think its ok to put a rabbit in a tiny hutch and leave it there :evil:...To me, I now wish I had my hutch made biggger!
