Smidge Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Good evening everyone Well, we got chickens in December and now we have aquired two medium sized rabbits from the RSPCA - should be settled at home on Saturday of next week. I wonder whether you could tell me of the size of hutch needed. We have a two tier hutch (size 4' long and each level is 17" high) is that big enough or should I go for a larger one? Hope to hear from anyone soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoriabunny Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 The recommended size for two rabbits is at least 5 feet long. Your best bet is a hutch combined with a run - have a look on Ebay for some that aren't too expensive. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepe Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hi there! I had a two tier 4ft hutch, but my bunnies are medium and small. I made an 8ft x 4ft run, which I attatched to the hutch, which they had access to all the time (bunnies don't like being shut in their hutches).I now have a rablu with extension. So I think your hutch will probably be ok if you can give them a big permanent run, hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepe Thank you for the advice I feel at lot more at ease and we have a 8x4ft run to bolt on the front of the hutch so the two rabbits will have so much fun. Eventually I will get a rablu.
