In the case of a spayed females, do they like company? I have read that rabbits are very social creatures and we have always thought of getting at least two. Can two spayed females share a large hutch? Or is it better to house them separately?

Dave, thanks for the welcome to the forum. I appreciate the introduction and explanation of some of the forum areas. We are in the beginning stages right now, so I'm trying to learn as much as I can. I definitely want to build my own hutch for the bunnies, so I'm trying to learn as much as...

Thank you, that is great advice. I would love to keep them inside, but we currently own to house cats and I don't think they would all get along. That is why I was hoping to build a large, outdoor hutch to house the bunnies for a majority of their time, and then bring them inside the sun-room...

After reading through the "cages" section I am thinking I can build the hutch with plywood rubbed down several times with vegetable oil to help seal it. I will build the cubby box out of Aspen. Like the example I posted above, I will have 1/2 inch wire across the front and some 1/4 wire across...

I have registered so that I may learn all I can about bunnies before getting a couple for my pre-teen daughters. My wife had bunnies growing up and she would like to continue the tradition with our girls. I would like to build a two-level outdoor hutch for (at least) two mini-lops. We will be...
