When they're in the back yard where they usually live, I just clap my hands and they jump into their hutches at bed time. It's dead sweet to watch. I wish they would come to me at bed time when they are in the front, but no chance! They turn into naughty children who don't want to go to bed

How do you get yours to come in when it's bed time?

Well they have the garage door left open so when i get them in at about 9pm or when it starts to get dark i just call 'bunnies' and shake the pellet box and they all come running in for dinner!

Re: Rabbit Accommodation.

Great setups everybody.
I am going to post some pics of my little one, once the flat is back together again. As for the next couple of weeks the bunnies do not know where they are from one day to the next due to full rewire and new kitchen and bathroom.
Even worse at some nights I have to put them together in the cage.

Re: Rabbit Accommodation.

I have a Nethie and he lives in a 2 tier hutch. It is 4 foot long. He has free run of the garden everyday whilst I am in (luckily I work evenings). He plays with our 3 cats and loves it. He chases them around and they run scared. He is a happy bunny!!

Re: Rabbit Accommodation.

This is mine. It's not perfect, compared to some on here, but its still a decent size, warm and clean. It's a 10ft x 6ft shed. They don't have an attached run for safety reasons, but they do have a separate 14ft x 3ft run in the garden.

Re: Rabbit Accommodation.

All your set ups are amazing, mine is a bit poor at the moment due to needing to keep bobz and moo separate from the little ones. They both have two tier hutches and big runs that they go in during the day. But they can't be attached due to a high volume of foxes near my house.

Then when they are all together and my shed is put up the two tier hutches will be joined. Then during the summer they will hopefully have a huge brand new run thanks to simplysardonic's husband and then when the weather is bad or im out all day they will have run of the 10 by 8 shed.

I'd love to give them free run of the garden but my cats use it as a toilet so I'm worried that I may miss some when I clean it up and they step in it. Their new current thing is to poo around the Rabbit run!

Re: Rabbit Accommodation.

This is my bun's setup. The run still needs a bit of tidying up and refining around the edges though! We plan to get outside and build some new ramps, platforms and tunnels now the weather's warmer. My only regret is that I can't let Buddy go free range in our garden, because the area's quite big and it's not bunny-proof in that there are too many areas where he could escape! Plus our cat, or the many others which frequent our garden daily, could prove too much of a risk (more to the cats I think, as Buddy is very fast and strong!!).

I think we're going to try and get a large temporary run to put on our lawn and connect this via a tunnel to Buddy's current permanent run. That way he has another area he can run to and explore during the summer and can enjoy munching, digging and flopping on grass!

The only difference in each set up is the last one is only a 4ft double tier hutch with 4 by 8ft run, Pep/ Nesbit's home is 5ft double hutch with 5 by 8ft run.

I also have in my front garden an 8ft by 4 ft run. They get free time in my back garden for at least 3 hours, at least 3 times a week.

Way back when I thought a double 4ft hutch was bunny paradise but a visit to RSPCA rehoming in Norfolk sorted that out. They won't rehome to any less than 50 square foot for medium sized pairs of buns. Which in their words is a 6ft by 4 greenhouse frame covered in mesh with a hutch in it. Spot on advice.


Hello Crofty.
i feel slack my buns are house bunnies so they have the master bedroom but still alittle shameful compared to yours
