Ha! A use for old mini-fridge racks! I've been tossing them into a pile, wish I could send them to the bunny folks here instead.
We bought a property last July which has the carcasses of at least thirty mini-fridges scattered around on it. The little racks seem to survive pretty well, I keep getting them tangled up in the string trimmer while trying to get to the bottom of these piles of weed and vine covered I'm-not-sure-what.
I saw one set of hutch plans that had large hole wire kinda arched between the tops of the individual spaces in a big hutch. There was a long door that opened up above the bunny spaces which allowed access to the top of the arched areas of wire. Hay was pushed into there and the bunnies could reach up and pull down hay.
Hmm, wouldn't have to be fancy arches, just a flat slanted roof that had a dropped down hinged door across the top of the bunny spaces would work. Oooh! And, if they're double layer hutches, the hay rack could be at the front and take up the extra room left by the slanted floor between the upper and lower hutch areas. Maybe next time we build a big hutch, that can be added in.
Maybe we need a 'dream hutch' site somewhere? Maybe I'll put it on the bunny's website over at Hillside Farm. I just gave someone a set of plans to build a big roofed bunny space which is a set of big hutches facing each other with a roofed area in the middle. If they build it, I can take pictures to post.
