tara Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Question can the eglu for rabbits be converted to a chicken one as there is a green one being sold on ebay today.Only they are saying it can be converted which l think is wrong as some one may buy it and be unaware. bluebell ruby marmalaid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 An eglu for rabbits can't be converted, but the eglu for chickens can. I think, not totally sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CannyCat Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 That seller emailed me saying the same thing (I lost a different auction and so she found my details). How cheeky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 You should e-mail her saying that you can't modify the rabbit eglu into a hen one Cannycat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 They can both be modified... I have one of each and only the base is different. I am sure that Omlet would happily sell the required base to whoever wanted it. The base unscrews from the grey front section, this front bit is the same on both of them. So to simplify it... To make a Rablu into an eglu you'd need the grey base, poo tray and roosting bars To make an eglu into a rablu you'd need the grey base, metal hay/bottle rack, water bottle and poo insert.

tara Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Yer but at what cost as it would not be cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophieam101 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 if you wanted to convert the rabu to an eglu can't you just buy some roasting bars off omlet and stick them in the bottom then get an old plastic box (like a biscuit box) and use that for the nesting box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Unfortunately not Sophie, the Rablu doesn't have the required slots for the roosting bars to fit into The base is completely different inside. I will try to remember to take a picture at lunchtime and post it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophieam101 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 But cant u just put them on the floor??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 No, the chooks would have them all over the place and be falling off them. Roosting bars need to be well secured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
