Hi,
Unfortunately, because of our child's allergy, I had to move our bunny outside (after 6 years inside our house) :-(
I'd like to discuss few details about the hutch I've constructed, especially the insulation, since outside temperature can drop to like -15°C (5°F) during the night.

- Sides are insulated with 40mm EPS.
- Floor is insulated with 50mm EPS with 20mm MDF board over it with top layer of a vinyl flooring.
- Rear side is made of 10mm hollow polycarbonate sheet.
- Roof is made of 15mm OSB board - should i insulate it with EPS as well ?
- Should I put some cover over the doors / or some kind of divider inside of the hutch to create some sort of an "entry hall" ? He's actually living all arround the hutch at the moment. In his former indoor dweling, he got one corner designated as a toilet, not so much here.
He's been moved outside at the begining of September, therefore, I hope that he will be able to adapt for the winter.
Hutch is outside, but under the roof, so its not exposed to rain.
Any ideas what to improve or change before cold winter ?
Thanks in advance.
