Here are a few pics of Ruby and Peter's new home!!! Far from a hutch, it's a custom designed shed x aviary that took Mum and I every spare minute of a week to put together. We are exhausted, desperately behind in everything else we need to do, and we have no fingernails left !! We anticipated that it'd take us a full day to put it up, but not 7! The instructions were terrible- that is, there were none! Just a badly labelled picture which meant we had to experiment and keep re-doing stuff, plus we had storms all week and got rained on about a million times!
The first picture is the side view, the second is the specially designed box we ordered as their bed, and the third is the bathroom area I set up. The cage also has a kitchen area complete with fridge magnets and a storage shelf and window!
I decided to do this for a few reasons; 1. Their wooden hutch was a pain to clean 2. I want them to have more floor space to run around- since we got the dog and moved house, they had less time to hop around outside and I felt bad about that. 3. I love them! I'd do anything for my pets. 4. They needed a better shade structure- it was getting too hot for them in Summer. 5. In a couple of years they would probably have been too old to climb up and down the hutch stairs.
I'm not sure if they like it yet. They seemed very curious when I put them in and promptly argued over who would use the litter tray first! Old married couple much? Peter bit me again, just for good measure I suppose, but what's new... Ruby is her usual sweet self.
