For smaller/medium size breeds such as Netherland Dwarf, Angora, Lionhead, Mini Plush Lop etc. This mid sized hutch is made from Redwood and has exterior graded hardwood ply base panels.
The roof is boarded with the same shiplap as the hutch and is constructed on the same principle as the traditional roof on a domestic house. Beneath the boarding is a breathable membrane. The roof also has a 3” (75mm) overhang to all sides which is not included in the measurements below.
The hutch is constructed from Swedish Redwood and is cladded on the outside with 12mm shiplap. The door frame is made out of a substantial 34mm x 46mm section and comes with one smaller solid boarded door on the left and a larger wire door on the right. The hutch has a separate internal partition in the top hutch providing a cosy sleeping area behind the boarded door. The partition is removable. The lower hutch is open plan.
The top hutch is ramped down to the rear hutch and likewise the lower hutch down to the run below. The run is screwed permanently to the underside of the hutch.
The hutch solid doors come with bolts and black turn buttons. The wire door comes with a spring loaded catches and turn buttons.
This hutch is made entirely in The United Kingdom by us and is not sold by any other company in the UK.
The size of run can vary to your preference in terms of length. The options are 4ft 6ft and 8ft as standard lengths Please contact us if you have any bespoke requirements as we are able to accommodate this during the construction stage.
This is a superior quality and well-constructed hutch offering 41 cubic feet of living space and between over 21 cubic feet of outdoor space. The 6ft and 8ft runs will come with removable wire lids to give you easier access to this part of the run.
Add-On Options
A Sliding Door Kit can be fitted to the upper floor so as to block off access to the ramp. E.g. when closed you can confine you bunny upstairs or downstairs.
A Hinged Rabbit Hutch Roof Kit can be added at the rear so that it will open and close like a lid. It has a bonnet like stay to keep it up, and a hasp and staple at the front so you can lock the rabbit hutch roof closed!
Winter Proofing Panels can be fitted to cover any wire mesh opening for additional winter rabbit care. The panels simply clip on to help keep your bunny warm in winter, creating an excellent winter rabbit hutch. The panels provide extra warmth of a night and also maximum security from predators.
Spring Loaded Catches can be fitted both doors. These are additional to the Turn Buttons.

Maintenance
All our products are finished with a Teak water based (non toxic) preservative. The timber should be re-coated with an equivalent preservative every year to ensure the maximum life span of the product.
Oil based coatings are the best as they tend to repel water before it penetrates the timber fibers.
Re-coating is best undertaken on a warm dry day or even better after a dry spell when the timber has had time to dry enough to absorb the coating you are applying.
Additional Protection
Here’s a bit of a tip – get yourself an atomizer spray!
Get yourself an atomizer spray – the sort you do your indoor plant leaves with. Most DIY shops sell what’s called a waterproofing agent. Thompson’s Water seal is a brand name but “B&Q” do their own brand.
Fill the atomizer with it and spray over the external surfaces of the product a couple of times a year. It’s really quick and easy. Don’t forget to wear appropriate mask and gloves. Follow the Health and safety instructions on the container.
