Rabbit Hideaway Animal Shelter
£44.95
Product Description
Add this Rabbit Hideaway Animal Shelter to provide constant access to hiding places for your rabbit within the run. The hideaway allows rabbits to feel safe and reassured by encouraging the natural behaviour to escape and hide, within the security of a rabbit run. They should be provided in addition to rabbits’ main shelter (e.g. hutch and hutch run).
Made of 18mm exterior ply and 12mm redwood shiplap.
Designed to be placed inside the hutch run as a place for your pet to feel safe and secure. Will fit into any of the run models from 48″ to 96″. Can also be placed in the garden if your pet is able to run freely. Made of Redwood shiplap and 18mm sturdy exterior plywood and is coated in a teak coloured preservative.

For maximum protection, we can tanalise your product (a form of pressure treatment) to help give you up to 10 years without the worry from dry rot and normal decay typical to all outdoor wooden furniture. Click here to find out more.
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.
