Zippy's new project this week
So, it's a rabbit run :-)
Daughter and her bf did the base, I got the woodwork to do, I priced up the timer, at over £200 , but found a localism selling some extra £1 a 2.4m lenth. Happy days |

You can’t say that I’m waiting for updates buddy.
Might not be the biggest project in the world but it’s something important to you and your family so keep it going Zippy. Sorry I’ve not replied sooner but despite progress I’m still not back to my self yet. |

Not at all, well done sourcing the timber, as Jim says it is a worthwhile project, Rick

Ahh ya can’t feel left out for long in this place pal
Any project is fine on here as long as theres “pics” My latest is just tidying the garage and sending a load of useful stuff to the tip Trying to make room for the mg and hopefully relieve the parking with my sons. Can’t do a great deal with mg for a long time yet as I get tired too quickly. |

The job is all the more satisfying when you source the materials at bargain prices.

Rabbits actually need a lot of space, also adding levels so they changed up high , but next is a shed with hutch inside .
Think she wants a light in the shed too, but not sure! |

Looks good - do you need planning permission? lol
It was not quite as big but when I was a teeneager myself & younger brother kept Guinea Pigs. I built a three storey hutch with ramps etc and an isolation room for any second males as they are very aggressive even towards their own offspring.
Eventually as we grew bored of closing the hutch at night they started to dig burrows under he nearby Hawthorn hedge. After a couple of years we had a virtually wild population in the garden. Although they were all dark coloured a white strain appeared - this led to the demise of most of the colony as the local Owls decided they were tasty! |
