Just wondered if anyone is keeping their rabbits or guinea pigs in an Eglu

 

I have been asked the question if it can be used for that - but had explained the differences

 

Therefore I wondered if anyone in successfully doing so.

 

I have seen Eglus advertised on Ebay as lately as suitable for chickens and rabbits - which I think is a bit naughty saying so - but I might be wrong.

 

I usuall am

Hi Dilly,

 

Lesley keeps her rabbits in a mk1 eglu! Just take out the roosting bars and the rabbits will be fine. You can then attatch the bottle to the run and put a food bowl and hay rack inside!

Thanks - I suggested they look at Omlet Rablus, and could conceivably do as you mentioned - but said as I do not keep rabbits I have no idea.

Yes, our rabbits are in a chicken Eglu.

 

We removed the roosting bars and filled the Eglu with hay. We stood the whole thing (Eglu and run) on a base of wire netting. They have the normal drinking bottle attached to the side and a bowl for their food. They also have a cat litter tray at the door end of the run which they use - much to my surprise!

 

We put willow or apple branches in for them to chew - and they seem very happy!

I did the same and kept my rabbit in a Mark one Eglu. Sold the eglu to my neighbour for her chicken though, so back to a hutch and run in wood
