I was delighted to donate Hutch Buddys as prizes for the Rabbiting On magazine 'Bunny of the year 2015' competition. The winners photos were shown in the spring 2016 issue - so many happy, healthy bunnies!

Are you a fan of Animal Planet's Wildlife SOS like me? Who better to try out Hutch Buddy I thought! Here is what Lucy Kells, their fantastic vet nurse said...

The Wildlife Aid Foundation trialled the use of the Hutch Buddy in some of our outside pens for wild animals. Founded in 1980, Wildlife Aid is dedicated to the rescue, care and rehabilitation of sick, injured and orphaned wild animals. The charity's veterinary hospital in Leatherhead, Surrey, deals with more than 20,000 wildlife emergencies every year. The charity's work is the focus of the popular TV series Wildlife SOS on Discovery Channel 'Animal Planet'. The founder of Wildlife Aid is the environmental broadcaster and campaigner Simon Cowell MBE.
Using the Hutch Buddy cut down on the time it took to clean the cages, and enabled the volunteers to reach into the corners of cages to really get rid of the waste properly, especially from hedgehogs, who really seem to like doing theirs in awkward places!! We do recommend the use of the hutch buddy – it will save you time and make your life easier, and your hutches cleaner!

Rabbit Paddocks Rock!

A wild rabbit’s territory is roughly equivalent to 30 tennis courts. Most of us cannot supply such an extensive, safe area to keep our pet bun fit and healthy, but perhaps you could create a rabbit paddock? It may take some time and money to set up, but once done, you will have happy, safe, healthy buns. And you can keep it all clean using your Hutch Buddy.

Fence off an area with picket fence and mesh. The fencing needs to be put about half a metre underground and curved back into the enclosure to make it escape proof.

The area should be around 7m square and covered with a roof or mesh to make it predator proof.

Peg mesh around the outside of the fence, around 30cm wide to stop predators digging in.

Provide lots of hiding places and enrichment in the area.

Put in a large hutch or wendy house to use as shelter from the elements and as a bedroom/snuggling place.

Thanks to the good folk who run the Rabbit Welfare Week. Google them for lots more helpful.

Hello hutch buddies, do sign this petition and spread the word with all your friends and family. Rabbits are fantastic, social, playful animals and they deserve a good life if they are captive in our care.

We urge the government to introduce a code of practice for the welfare of domestic rabbits (as currently exists for dogs and cats).
