English Lop housing advice

Hi, I am new to the forum and would like some advice if possible.

I have kept small rabbits in the past and am now looking at getting a larger rabbit in particular the English Lop.
What I would like to know is what would you say is a suitable size hutch. Due to indoor cats and a fussy mum, this will be an outdoor hutch (but will obviously be protected from the wind, rain, heat, foxes etc).
This is the hutch I have seen and like the look of I need you guys to approve or disapprove it and if possible put links up to suitable hutches that I could consider buying.

Thanks guys :wave:
 
Hello

Unfortunately the hutch is far too small. In my opinion a shed with a permanently attached secure run would be the minimum for an EL or any large breed

Something like this

 
Ok thanks. Im definitely in no position to have a garden shed in the garden so that cant happen lol. So if I was to get a 6ftx2ftx2ft with attatched run what are the larger species I could have.
 
I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but that size hutch really isn't big enough for ANY larger breed. It's the absolute minimum for small/medium size rabbits, with an 8 by 4 attached run


Eta: I suppose if the 6ft hutch was enclosed within a large weatherproofed aviary, it might be ok. Still not giving them much inside room considering their size though
