What a day. We are shortly to be proud parents to the 2 Contis Parsnipbun is rescuing from their sardine tin (see thread in Rabbit Chat), and while I spent half the day thinking about buying a shed combo, I then realised we have a perfectly good ex-playhouse next to the rabbit hutch, albeit full of stuff.
Presuming we can find somewhere for that stuff, we're going to convert it. I was going to wait and post pics asking for advice, but I realised I have a very busy day tomorrow with guests here and I'm probably not going to get round to picture taking.
So this is the playhouse we have - imagine it blue, without the veranda and without any stairs in so there is a just a half 2nd level with railings on it.

Luckily we have only just repainted it and fixed it, and it had a new roof last year.
I'm going to scrutinise the outdoor housing thread when I have a moment, but bearing in mind I need to make up something quickly for these girls, I need to think what can I put in the shed, how I stop them getting out of the door as soon as it's opened, and what kind of run I can attach to it. At the moment I don't have anything that would be suitable to do that, so I'll need to buy it.
I guess I'll need to put lino down. Also, the shed gets very hot so I'll need to swap the perspex windows for mesh I think. I imagine it gets pretty cold in winter but I'll have to deal with that later.
All ideas greatly appreciated, especially as I'm a giant bun novice.
