I think it's a great idea to get them bonded and of course it will cut down on the work for you
My thoughts on alternative accommodation for them. If you use your shed, what will you use for your gardening equipment, which is presumably why you got the shed? I think you would also need to get an attached run, so that they could be outside and be secure some of the time. I think having bunnies free-ranging in the garden, whether accessed from the shed or from the utility room, is something I would only feel safe doing if I was outside with them all the time. I don't think it's enough just to be in the house, especially if you are busy with Ted.
Tbh I think by far the best suggestion is to keep them where they are and involve Ted, sitting him in a bouncer. It would keep him amused, keep him away from touching the bunnies or their litter tray and be an inclusive family thing. I would also give you your time with the bunnies without having to worry about Ted. You could read to Ted or, as Graciee said, play music etc. I think it could work extremely well. You could always re-assess when he's crawling, but tbh with a crawling baby the whole house has potential for danger. You just need to be mindful of the things which are super dangerous.
I think you are also possibly over-estimating the work involved with looking after the bunnies. Rugs surely don't have to be washed daily. If they do, then I wouldn't use them :lol:
We started using it when she could sit by herself at approximately 6 months and she absolutely loved itJust to flag up these aren't recommended anymore apparently they can cause hip development issues? Idek! Just thought I should say as the info on what is and isn't okay is constantly changing [emoji38] although apparently kids love those bumbo seats because it allows them to sit up before they can on their own.. But apparently it's not safe. Just thought I'd let you know loobers
More like a way for me to know were I had here as she was quite mobile :lol:

If you Google it, it's using them at all actually, even over 6 months, your call though
once they're sitting by themselves anyway they get in lots of practice by themselves [emoji38]

I cant remember the exact phrasing, but I think it puts them in an unnatural position which can cause developmental issues? And they are trapped in that position and can't get out of it like normal which isn't good.

When Evelyn learned to sit she still spent most of her time rolling about straightened out, time spent in that position wasn't very long for a while, and there was a gradual build up.
Have a look online and you can make a judgement on it
Weirdly when Evelyn said mama for the first time I wasnt that shocked, coz she'd been babbling like a mad thing for ages [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]
Insulating the roof is most important as that's a massive suntrap, especially if the felt/whatever is dark. We put radiator reflective stuff (polystyrene backed foil) on ours, shiny side up, and it's miraculous.If you insulate the shed with decent insulation such as kingspan then ply line it it should be good. You can also use mesh instead of glass to give good ventilation. I’m glad it’s working out for you all
I'm allergic to fluffy stuff in my face (no kisses for me!) but the dust they produce seems to mostly be their poo: it 'dusts' as it disintegrates :lol: I'm not allergic to hay or anything (though I do get what looks like hay rash from plunging my hands into stalky hay but is actually just lots of tiny cuts :lol
. There's a lot of 'worry' created around babies, IMO it's mostly to sell cleaning products.
