Lisa, I second going to the rabbits united forum! It's excellent there.

If you have the space I would always recommend getting a shed or playhouse. You get so much more space for your money compared to traditional hutches.

The RWAF (http://www.rabbitwelfare.co.uk/ahutchisnotenough.htm) recommend a minimum hutch size of 6 foot x 2 foot x 2 foot WITH a permanently attached run of 8 foot by 4foot.

I have a group of bunnies (5) outside that have a 6ft x 3 ft x 3ft double hutch with a 12 ft by 6ft aviary attached. I have a pair of bunnies indoors that have free range of my kitchen and dining room and then a trio who have the spare bedroom.

The more space you can give the better. I got my hutch and run from a company named Boyles Pet Housing which are fantastic BUT they are more expensive than getting a shed. You could also buy aviary panels yourself off ebay and if you or your partner are DIY minded they're easy enough to set up.

THIS ^^^

Have a sleeping quarters that is cosy and small if you like, but PLEASE have a run for them... Preferably around 6 X 4 feet. Even bigger if you have the room.

Don't lock bunnies in a hutch 24/7.

They are definitely having a large run
