Apologies as I'm incredibly rubbish at maths - is 60 square ft the minimum most rescues will rehome to?
I've been away from the forum for some time - I'm having a health issue which has made life a bit difficult for a while as I've still had to work full time in a busy job (I'm a nurse) whilst being very anaemic and feeling very rubbish for a long time - it's left me very tired and I've not been on the internet much at all. Thankfully the end is now in sight as I'm finally due to have surgery in the next 2-3 months which *should* solve all my issues. I'm going to be off work for around 3 months and, though I won't be firing on all cylinders for a bit, I will be at home and will have a lot of time to spend with my pets and so have decided to have my big shed converted into a bunny shed with a level and ramp, mesh inner door and windows (with perspex to close over them) and a predator proof aviary style run around one side and the back - all with a view to adopting a third pair of rabbits. I have worked out that their space will be 12ft by 7 ft plus the level which will be 6ft by 3 ft - can anyone work out what the floor space would be and tell me if it meets rescue requirements please?
My other bunny pairs - Dennis/Bella and Trevor/Alys (some of you might remember them?) are all fine - I'd love to post pictures but photo bucket has disappeared? This winter's been tough with them living in hutch and run combos so I have ordered Manor Pet Housing bothies for both pairs (very exciting - and expensive!) with level/ramp, mesh inner door and windows and will use these with their existing Omlet runs connected by runaround tubing. There is a long wait for these (though I know they are worth waiting for as I have other MPH stuff) so my buns won't get them till later in the spring - luckily we live half an hour drive from MPH so my dad and son will collect and build them for me, bless them both. I hope it will be easier for me to spend time with the buns in winter if the weather is as rubbish as this year.
Hope someone remembers me and can do the maths - I'm embarrassingly rubbish at it. I'm waiting on a quote from a carpenter who's been round to look and measure up - if it's affordable he'll do the work in late March but I'm waiting till after my surgery before looking at bunnies. I'd like to post pictures to get opinions but again 0 no photo bucket - is there another way?
