Black - out blinds over your windows, duct tape over your blinking lights, and
towels under doors may be warranted to achieve true darkness.
Hint on the
door frame pullup bar — I cut small pieces of
towel to place
under the bar where it contacts the
door frame, this helps protect the
door frame from being damaged or the paint from being marred.
* Weatherproof the roof * Install a solid, non slip floor * Enclose most sides * Use the strongest metal grids for the open sides * Insect proof all open sides, roof and walls where any bugs can enter * Preferably the size of the enclosure should be big enough for you to stand inside * The access
door should open inwards * The access
door should start at your knee height (bottom of wall should be solid - guards against buns accidentally getting out & predators seeing buns from ground level) * Ensure there is no access from
under the floor of the enclosure (stops foxes scaring bunnies from underneath) * Use strong locking device on
door that can not be knocked open * Provide safe house inside the enclosure so buns can run inside and can not be accessed easily if a dog / fox or person breaks in * Provide clean
towels to snuggle in * Provide large litter tray filled with oaten hay * Provide large ceramic water bowl (sometimes two) * A blind or cover over the open section at night will ensure that your buns will feel safe & predators will not be able to see in & scare your bunnies when you are not around Whatever you provide for your bunnies living outside, ensure it is the safest and most secure from predators, insects & extreme weather.
