Hi, Im interested in getting a rabbit, I want a young one, however would prefer to get one from some sort of rescue centre rather than a per shop or breeder. Is this possible or do they tend to be older from rescue centres?

Also can anyone reccomend anywhere to get a decent size hutch and run etc without breaking the bank? Pets at home are £100+ for a decent size hutch?

Thanks

Try sooz22 she runs a rabbit rescue and has a variety of bunnies in most of the time :)

I have yet again some babies,that mother has been left here because when they came back from holiday didn't want the babies but want mum back when she isn't feeding the babies, the babies are 3 weeks old and will be ready in 5 weeks appox so pm me if you are interested.

I have seen the babies today and they are awww so cute Teeny aught to post them up here for you all to see

dont get a hutch from pets at home i did it was soft wood and bunny ate his way around it,
try freecycle or ask someone to build you one,send sooz22 a pm,about a rescue bunny

I can tell you when we first began boarding we were given some pets@home hutches needless to say after the first six months we had to go and invest in some more hutches. We managed to get some from Superpet in Woodseats at a great price and they have lasted well, i steam clean them and scrub them regularly. Good quality last well.
As i said in previous post on here, we have a rabbit that has given birth while staying here, her owners can't have her back yet as the babies arn't out of the nest yet. I am not a rescue but these babies will be going to rescue as the owner can't or won't cope with them and we will end up with more unwanted bunnies. I want good homes for all of them if i can find them. so if you are interested please pm me. as i said they arn't ready for another 5 weeks by then they will be 8 weeks old, well handled and even more cute.
I need to learn how to post pictures!!

Here's a pic of our hutch. Read further down the thread for the description. It was £120 from Focus, the home and garden place, but well worth it! Only a few quid more than you'd pay for an ordinary one. After you click here, (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=342264) click on 'rabbit' at the end of the post!

Teeny, this is how I learnt! Takes a bit of reading and trying, but if I can do it, anyone can! :hihi:

I like that pic, Sugarpuff. Is it you who looks like they're trapped in the hutch with a camera :D

As for the question, did THE_DADDY say he could build hutches or was that dog kennels?

He he, yep that was me in the window!

Don't know anything about THE_DADDY building stuff, but I imagine whichever he builds, if he adapted the design a bit it would be fine!

I take it it'll be an outdoor bunny?

I've just got an indoor bunny cage from Jolleys for £45 - its MASSIVE. Its new resident is quietly munching through some celery in it right now. :D

Happy Hutch company have some lovely 6ft by 2ft by 2ft hutches with 6ft by 4ft runs attached. They are about £115.

£100+ is really what you would expect to pay for a decent sized hutch and run. Rabbits can be quite expensive pets to keep too. I know, I've got 6 and they've cost me £1000's over the last couple of years. They're worth it though :)
