Housing within the Colony

[Tara B]

Just wondering what kind of housing/hutches/shelter people have within their colony space?

How Big?
What material?
What type of flooring?
Off the ground or on?
Windows?
Bunny doors?

I would LOVE to see pics of both the outside and inside.

Thanks!

My groups all have some sort of "house" so they can go in and be safe when they need to. Sometimes it's just the nest tunnels (1'x1'x3'long) with others they have an upside down plastic tub with a door cut in it. My newest group has a box. yes...sigh...i'm a slug. They have a big cardboard box with a door on one side, and a window on another. I put the hay in the window and they have a grand time pulling it out of the window. They also climb up on top of it. (as the others do with their tubs and tunnels)

The planned outdoor colony will have a series of A-frame huts scattered around for shelter from flying predators and from the rain and snow. I'll put those up on legs/blocks. Underneath in the summer's heat will be shade and cool ground.
