Why doesn't the shed work anymore? Just thinking you could add a run to the shed you've already got, as having a shed is way better than a hutchWhere are the best places to get hutches and runs now? Jelly currently lives in a shed but it’s not working anymore
I think there’s something wrong with the shed that has caused my rabbits to become ill and pass away. I’m still trying to figure it out (with the help of a vet) but either way I’m not comfortable with that shed anymore and I can’t have another shed right now
I just don’t know what to do. The shed she has now is amazing but I’m convinced it’s something to do with the shed. It is such a big shed that replacing it isn’t really an option right now, a hutch seemed like the best idea because it’s something that’s brand new so will be fine. I’m too scared to get anymore rabbits now but I’m also really worried about Jelly being lonely. The other option is rehoming her but I really don’t want to do that, but is it fair on her to keep her. I don’t know
Jelly has lived in the shed since June, and there doesn’t seem to be any issues with her at all. I just don’t know, she’s going back to the vet on Wednesday but she was seen about 6 weeks ago and the vet was happy with her.
I can eco all the comments about hutches not being ideal, we struggled for a good few years and got to the point where it just wasn’t working anymore. The buns had room but it still felt cramped and it was uncomfortable getting in and out to sort them out, plus when the weathers bad everything got wet (including us & them)
We used to have the 6ft chartwell hutches with the runs attached from Home and roost. The hutches are good quality but the runs are not so good, the woods quite thin and I think they are badly designed (especially the 6ft version as it has a support beam running down the middle that you have to step over constantly when inside it) - absolute pain in the bum when your short like me and it’s about 2ft high :lol:
Here’s our old set up:
And here’s our new custom designed 16x8ft walk in run made by manor pet housing
It took a while to come (as expected) and cost a small fortune but it’s amazing quality and has changed both ours and the bunnies lives forever!
It’s got full polycarbonate panels on all of the meshed parts that can be removed as needed in the warmer weather.
We still have the 6ft chartwell hutches inside - excuse the colour they need painting
You can see them better at night with the lights on
