That's a great looking hutch, thanks for showing it to me. I was wondering, do you shut them in at all or are they able to come and go as they please? Do you put all 4 of them in there, or is that The Girl's Room?
I only put my guys in and shut the door when I'm cleaning the floor....or when someone is being naughty and needs a timeout.
Otherwise they go in and out as they wish.....I have a baby gate to keep them out of the living room since Chocolate has been known to nibble on the furniture if she gets bored.![]()
Most of the time they will retreat to the cage to nap ... I think they feel safe in there or something. Bunny and Ebony must really be impressed with being able to see out all the sides.
I can't tell from the picture but I imagine it has a wire floor...... Did you put down something to protect their feet? Only part of the floor needs to be covered to protect their delicate little (ha-ha-ha!!!) feet. I don't have any wire floors in our hutches here and yet Velvet STILL managed to get a very bad case of sore hocks. That was difficult to treat.... I had to put salve on his feet, then bandage them up, over that he had to have infant socks AND then, the crowning glory, I had to cover all this with a small plastic baggie! It was awful, but I always knew where he was because I could hear the plastic make wrinkling sounds![]()
So needless to say I am now very, very careful and check his back feet several times a week.
