I meant to do you some yesterday and forgot. I need to do it during the day or the flash catches on the doorframe and makes shadows.

Here are my creations.
The first is the commonal grass run which relocates every couple of weeks depending on the season.
Next depicts the custom made shed I've bought. Looking for a large sturdy cage for (then three now) two rabbits decided a shed would be of better value. I stripped down the original cage to its basic design as it had been 'developed' by me with extensions plus the run, it now sits neatly inside. Also inside I've put grills to prevent them from eating the wood and getting out the door. I've used some left over floor tiles for the floor. There was a cat flap -which you can see Gerald looking out of, but only Mangle was determined to use it so I took the door off.
Update: although not visable have just heightened the cage inside giving loads more floor space...which was met with approval with some little 'happy stamps'!!
I've semi-permenantly afixed the run to the shed, wedged by battons and the contents, easily dismantleable. The floor are 2'' thick wooden planks lain on a brick base(lain for the shed) allows for ventillation.
I've utilised old cold frame removable perspex windows for weather proofing the run....just have to keep an eye on the forecast!
This is cleaning time...the lid comes off and I can climb inside. The ...er...'warren' I've made is of planks screwed together, a plywood 'lid' encases an inner chamber...(they think they're safe -but not from me tee hee!)
Paint used is animal friendly hutch stain from 'Pets at Home'.
Early days when Chew was alive and before Gerald was a twinkle in his mums eyes....my first tunnel/shelter which they still love to lie on only now it has some roofing felt on it.
For my next development I'm thinking of designing a platform they can get to to look out of the window....
