Rabbit sheds, anyone bought one/made one?

Just that really. I have two bunnies and one is considerably larger than expected. We either need to buy a rabbit shed that is especially made for rabbits or make one but Im not sure which is best/most cost effective. Has anyone else done this? Thanks

We had an old shed/summerhouse not used so we put the hutch in there and our 2 bunnies had the run of the shed. We had a bale of hay and a bale of straw in there and they used to jump and climb them. We then designed a trap door out of the shed into a fenced run. We would open the door in the morning and they could go in and out as they pleased. They were very spoilt bunnies.

yes I was thinking of using a cat flap on the side so I can lock it at night (if we went for shed option rather than bespoke made type )

We had a 6x4 shed with a catflap leading to a secured run they get to 24/7. The run was on the patio for easier cleaning and to stop them digging out. We screwed it onto the paving slabs to stop foxes thinking of lifting it up. We also added extra locks to the door. Inside the shed I added extra levels,ramps, tunnels and shelves for them to sit on.

Most days they free ranged in the garden.

I currently have a singleton house bun, in the summer his moving outdoors and we are getting him a friend. Pinterest has lots of great ideas, I've spent far too long planning it all out.
