Hey, some of you might know about the problem i was having re space for my trio. I had no money but needed to sort something bigger and bringing them indoors wasnt an option. I ended up doing this...
It now has a rain cover and they are kept mostly dry, even in bad rain. Problem I'm having now is flies, they arent a problem in the run part but ive never had such a big problem with them in the actual hutch! I clean them out every week, but i cant do it any more frequently than that because the hutch is so heavy and its pretty aukward cleaning out a hutch in 2ft of space!
I have a huge old wooden box, i was thinking about turning it upside down and cutting a hole in for them to go in for shelter. Its lighter and easier to pick up so if i need to clean out more than once a week, its much quicker and easier to do. Do you think this is suitable? I'm worried about them being too cold :?
My mum might be taking the box to work though so if i cant use it, will they be ok with a carrier with a waterproof sheet over the top and packed with hay and a snuggle safe? It will be placed in the sheltered part of the run too. I really dont know what to do until ive saved for my shed. :?
ETA: If i have to use a carrier it will be wrapped in a blanket and a the water proof sheet before being filled with bedding and packed with hay.
I'm waiting for the run to dry, so i need to make a decision pretty quickly. x
