Our 6ft Chartwell rabbit hutches are designed to comfortably house up to two small pets, offering ...Our 6ft Chartwell rabbit hutches are designed to comfortably house up to two small pets, offering generous space with nearly 2ft of ceiling height and 2ft of depth. This single-tier hutch is an excellent choice for new pet owners or as a gift for children, providing a solid introduction to responsible small animal care. It's crucial to provide ample space for pets, as the hutch serves as their sleeping area, not their entire living space. For protection against wind and rain, a hutch cover is recommended, as the animal-safe bactericidal wood treatment applied to our hutches, while preventing bacterial growth, does not make them waterproof. We advise re-treating the hutch once or twice a year between seasons to maintain its condition. This product is British manufactured and features a heavy and thick construction with 10mm wood.
This guide helps owners understand and effectively use the Home & Roost 6ft Chartwell Rabbit Hutch. Ideal for new pet owners or as a gift, this hutch provides a comfortable sleeping area for up to two small pets. Remember, the hutch is a sleeping area, not the entire living space, so ensure your pet has ample room to roam.
