hiya all,
As a bunnie rescuer and very into welfare I thought while sat here this afternoon I would work out what it would be like to live in a rabbit hutch and was so alarmed at what I found I shall be throwing away all my 4ft hutches and replacing them with 8ft hutches.
I measured the dimensions of an bog standard adult female dwarf lop bunnie and rounded them off the the nearest inch.
Flo is
14" long (in a sitting position from nose to bum)
7" high (from floor to highest point)
7" wide (from her widest part)
The hutch I used for comaprsion is:
48" long
15" wide
15" high
I then measured myself (I am only little) 24 year old female:
6" wide
15" long
60" high
So if I have work this out correctly which in a way I hope I haven't
By dividing the lenght of the hutch by the lenght of the bunnie and the same for the other measurements and then multiplying those answers with my maesurements I would be living in a hucth:
19.2" long
32.1" wide
10.7 foot high.
I have worked this out on the basis that we stand on two legs and rabbit don't so my width which was measured from my side (if that makes sence) is equal to the rabbits lenght. My Lenght is equal to the rabbits width and highs are equal.
I also workout the same for a run:
70"long
36"wide
19"high
My run would be:
30" long
77.1" wide
10.85 feet high
I cannot believe that and really hope one of you will point out that I am c**p at maths and have done it all wrong. I know it is not quite right as there are other factors involoved but it is shocking.
The plan was I was going to work that out and then build the equilivant hutch and take it to events to show people just how crule to rabbits we are but I never guessed it would be that small!!!
