Hi,
So I am a first time rabbit owner and I have two mini lops, both brothers... Ronnie and Reggie.
I need advice and help about whether the outside run and hutch I have built for them is good enough please ??
I have uploaded a picture of when I just completed building the run and hutch for them.
They 're 9 weeks old now and after having them a week they won't stop licking me and love snuggles with me at night but I want them outside in a more natural habitat for them.
The hutch now I have put a big thick doubled up Curtan going around the wall of the bedroom, a thin foam layer on the floor then lots of hay. A cardboard box down stairs with hay along with a lot of hay downstairs too. Then the left hand wall has another thick Curtan nails to the wall to give extra warmth. With hay leading to bedroom. Outside the left hand side of the hutch has tarpoling fitted going round the back so it's covered on the side too to prevent wind and roof is felted. Is this enough for them as I am concerned it may get a little cold for them in England at times ?? I am also going to fit some perspex over some of the meshing doors of the hut to prevent wind and rain.
I can post a picture of what hutch is like bow if it helps any advice please.
