I contemplated the merits of a Walk in Run extension, however, due to costs this was not an option. However, I decided that I needed an area to use as a smaller introduction area or sick bay, as my current intro area is a third of my walk in run, so to shut off for an intro for 2 or a sick bay wouldn't be fair to the rest of my flock.

 

Well yesterday I found a bargain Rabbit Run reduced in a local pet shop, and with a few moderations has made an upstairs/downstairs for my run, increasing my run space by 2 square metres and providing more interest for my girls

 

 

The rabbit run built in my run, topped with Acrylic sheets to make a permanent lid.

 

 

Side door that can be left open when it isn't needed for intros/sick bay

 

 

Other side door, for access to the free ranging port

 

 

Lift-able lid for easy access

 

 

View from half way down the run

 

 

My girls enjoying it

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Clever, I like that and it matches so well

 

That's just what I was going to say .

 

Well done, Debs, it's fab .

[Olly]

Wow, that's a really smart use of space!

[ClaireG]

Very clever

[Valkyrie]

Ooh very good Debsie - you just happened to notice a bargain, ahem - you've been eyeing that rabbit run and waiting haven't you. Silkies intro area ready then.

Seriously - very good idea without the other girls losing space.

[Jules.]

What a great multi-tasking idea that is

[Plum]

Good idea. think you can get another in

[Cooks]

ooh I like it, very clever!

[chick wiggle]

You clever girl! Looks great

Just wanted to share that my new "extension" is working a treat.

 

It is a perfect size for Nyssa and Susan whilst we do the intros.

 

In addition, all the oldies love jumping on the top, which we have affectionately called "The Observation Deck", as by jumping on that it gives them a better view into the house for them to watch us
