Risk of hutch blowing over?

Hi all,

I've just bought one of these but wonder if it could blow over in the wind? I'd want to move it around the garden (hoping I won't have to mow the lawn this year!).

Do you weigh/tie your's down in any way?

Thanks

Don't have one of these but I have a shed I keep my ducks in and it REALLY catches the wind. I'd also worry about foxes being able to dig into it, so would make sure bunny's in bed by dusk!

I also use to use a bit of carpet to drape over my rabbits hutch at night to stop draughts.

I'ld be surprised if it blow over. What does concern me is the swivel catch on the doors. No way fox proof. Please attach a strong bolt to each door.

Thank you I will make sure I add bolts to the door. I'm quite new to piggies so appreciate all advice given!

The girls are only going to be in it during the day so will defo be in by dusk I'll shoot any fox that even blinks at my babies the wrong way
