Re: hide out??

plastic boxes or dog beds (cheap in charity shops) are always good, just mind they dont chew too much. or a big pile of barley straw will do

Re: hide out??

Would a small dog crate fit? Or even a wooden box with a small door for the rabbit to get in that could be filled with hay

Re: hide out??

I once mentioned to my grandad that nelson prefered to be down in his run that running up his ramp into his hutch and a few days later he'd made a new ramp with a house biult in .... he's a good one :')

so if you have any d.i.y handy family members , perhaps ask if they can do anything???

Get some tarpaulin maybe or even a small blanket that would help keep him warm. Carpet might work

Re: hide out??

well i filled the small crate 3 1/4 up with shredded news paper and a bag of hay, then made a dip in the middle and lower at the front. iv covered it in carpet, made 4 squares and tied the carpet to the crate on 4 sides. iv put it in the sheltered part of his hutch, hopefully this will keep him nice and snug.

his got a nice warm belly now too as his just had some warm wheatabix with mashed banana.
