No I'm not on Facebook or Twitter.

You are in Herrington thats about under an hour away from us so not far

oooo Im getting excited I hope he does start and do all the bunny stuff, There is a lad on ebay that makes the basic runs 5x4x2foot and most of the time they go for £35, The people on my page like to pay about £30-£40 for a hutch depending on size. I had a guinea pig hutch I sold for £20 it came with one of the rabbit which it was way to small for so I put her in one of the big ones and just sold hers and people were fine to pay £20 it was about 3foot 22" wide and 22" high.

Just giving you some rough guidelines of what people want, but as I say people are always wanting them through here so If mike has a van or car maybe he could do a trip a week to drop off say charge £5 delivery and drop off as many as he can in that day or night??? I would happily post pics of finished items on my page for you xxx

However, £30 should not get you a decent hutch. I reckon if Mike devised a delux hutch that was pre-insulated and linoed painted etc in addition to standard hutches that there may be a market there. You would have to have them made to order though.

it seems to be a competetive market as rabbits seem to be the in pet lately, but in saying that although people look at prices the quality that you would supply would be better.

Many Thanks for that Rob I've put it in my favourites for Mike to have a look at

I feel that £30 - £40 is not a good price, if your only willing to pay that I feel your not really thinking about the rabbits, please dont be offended anyone, but I paid £99 for my charlies house then all the bits added another 50 on top it max £150. I was looking at hutches at about £140 online not the ones at 40, I will admit I was stingy with my 1st rabbit and paid £45.00 for a cheap heap hutch from argos, it was the worst thing I have ever bought and I wasnt thinking of the rabbit I was thinking of my purse, not making that mistake again.

[b]I have been running my own busnesses since 1982 and at the moment it is very hard probably the worst I have ever known it. I gave up my industrial electrical contracting 2 months ago to expand on my hoby of dismantaling cars and selling the parts but it is very hard getting established at the moment. I would say that if your hubby can purchase the materials at the right price and is prepaired to put in decent hours then why not have a go I wish him all the best and hope it is sucesfull if you need any delivery contacts let me know I mostly sell on line and have all my parts sent out by corier and pallatised delivery service Good Luck to you both

Thanks very much for this I've shown it my Hubby

Maybe cost effectiveness would be making it from recycled materials if possible?? Not sure if that would work necessarily..but everyone's all about the eco these days so that would give it an appeal x

I'm sure he will make you one

I think it would be fantastic! It's so hard to find good hutches!! Might be worth getting in touch with someone like John Hopewell, who makes chinchilla cages to see how he works profits, materials costs etc for some advice. I'm sure he is based in Yorkshire and he is such a lovely man I'm sure he would help
