My wife and I are fairly new to rabbit ownership, and unfortunately when we adopted our boys last year she got a Bluebell Hideaway Hutch from Pets at Home (it was her present from her dad, they were her birthday bunnies) which I know isn't ideal.
It was lasted quite well, although I have my eyes on something from Manor Pet Housing. But, we've recently spent £500 on a run for them, and with the recent amount that has had to be spent on medical care money is short at the moment.
So, I need to look at keeping the existing hutch seviceable for as long as possible.
It is not doing too badly, the floors are OK, and the doors etc while a bit nibbled are fine. The problem is the ramp which goes from the ground floor to first floor. They have managed to chew away a couple of the rungs (for want of a better word) so I need to get this sorted as I don't want Spencer to hurt himself.
I was trying to see if I could find out what company makes these to see if I could just order a replacement ramp, but it looks like it is a generic P@H hutch. Could anyone advise on what types of wood would be safe for me to use for the repairs, and any recommended ways of attaching the new rungs?
The originals are attached with staples (I have removed the exposed ones from the missing rungs already) but the wood of the ramp looks to be too thin for screws, and I wouldn't risk any sort of glue due to potential toxicity.
