Hello, I have been looking into adopting 2 bunnies from one of our local rescues. I plan to get 2 that are already together so they are happy and I don't have to worry about how they will get along. Anyway, I haven't had a bunny since I was a kid, 30+ years ago. I love the look of the cute wooden hutches I see all over pinterest or amazon etc and could make one but the more I read the more I worry those cute hutches won't be big enough as I keep reading they should have space like their own room.
I wonder if we were to make one of those hutches and connect it to our outdoor lanai if that would work? We have a small doggie door that leads onto our screened lanai that is covered so no direct sun. I would like to make part of the inside hutch where they could go thru the "doggie" door and access the lanai where I would have a caged in area for them to run around. Kind of like a large confined area part inside and part outside.
Do bunnies need direct sunlight or would the indirect sun on the lanai be enough? I'm in florida so it gets hot as heck.
I won't be able to let them run freely in the house as we have 2 cats and would feel safer with them protected. My cats are butterballs and wouldn't hurt them but I would rather keep my house in tact from any unwanted chewing etc.
Thanks for any advise,
