I thought a minimum sized hutch for 1 rabbit was 6x2x2 and a run of5x something I ask as I started to follow a rescue somewhere in the mainland and have been making donations when I can but I just noticed they said a minimum sized hutch is 5x2x2 and run ... 5x3ft run. I wanted to ask here if these sizes are ok? If I were to continue to donate I want to make sure they are ok.

the minimum size for 2 medium sized rabbits is 6x2x2 with attached 6x4x2 run

Thanks Lil mis. I am not sure what to do. She definitely said the measurements I stated. Perhaps the hutch type size was a typo and she typed 5 instead of 6 but the run size was out much more. How could a rescue state different specifications that what it should be?

I have also heard of organisations rehoming rabbits to 5ft hutches.

To be honest tho my gut feeling is over all run around space thats preferably permanent is the greatest factor. I wouldnt want any rabbit even a single to have a space smaller than 6ft x 4ft to easily run, jump and twist in as they please.

I would say a permanently attached hutch needs to be deep enough for the rabbit to turn freely in, lay down across the width, high enough for the rabbit not to touch the top, poo/litter tray in 1 corner, space for food bowel, water, and hay rack, space for movement to poo, drink and eat freely..... so 6ft

The requirements have actually changed recently to 6x2x2 hutch with a 6x8 run.

Yep it's now a 6x2x2ft hutch with a 6x8 run.
There are a few places around where I am that expect even bigger than that which is great for the bunnies

Is this hutch okay? 4ft = 50" x 18" x 58"

Or is this also too small? I am very low on funds at the moment but need to get a new hutch.

Someone I know has this one and it's brand new - she bought it for her guineas but they decided to keep them in another hutch! She said I could have it at a discount.

Thanks

4ft is far too small I'm afraid, you can pick up playhouses on ebay quite cheap and then you just have to attach a run

who is saying a 6ft x 8ft run? my local rescue say 6ft x 6ft as a minimum for 2 and the same again if you have 4?

I've never seen a 6ft x 8ft run
