How is this any better than the Advantek The White Picket Fence Rabbit Hutch in Auburn &amp; White?

They are both very cute hutches, however as time has gone by I have had to take out the ramp on this one since the rabbits chew it so much. I would worry on the Picket Fence hutch they would chew even more since there is so much more wood exposed. Also this one opens from the sides only, no access from the top. Don't know if that's good or bad just a difference. Looking back months after this purchase I would have gone with a more sturdy unit, and will next time. The wood on these things is just not built to last....

It would be perfect for bunnies unless they were like ours that would dig under anything. As a play yard for supervised temporary use it would be great. It is very sturdy and easy to use and store. I did spray it with an extra coating of rustoleum spray paint on the bottom of each piece that was touching the ground to prevent rust from forming. I have had mine set up for appx. 3 years and so far so good. It sets up in just a few minutes and you don't need help to so it. Also it looks nice when it is set up, it is not an eyesore to your property

Been too long to remember. They were good size boxes. Hutch is huge when put together. We have two large rabbits in it. With a lot of room for more. Cost was unbeatable after looking at some hometown dealers. Well constructed. One hint brush on hot sauce to stop chewing on wood inside parts.

That's exactly why we got it. It's pretty easy to put together. Nothin fancy but looks really nice on our large stoop. Only problem has bn training the delivery/postal folks to use it - cause it really jus looks like a bench. Stays dry w seat lid closed. If lots of water is on the seat, it will run into storage area when lifted, but that hasn't really been a problem.

I'm in my 60's and it was pretty easy to put together, although when I first looked at all the pieces I felt a little overwhelmed. Take it slowly and follow the instructions. I know I put it together in less than an hour. I have one ten pound cat and she is absolutely gaga over it. The one I have has a total of 10 scratching posts on it, and Emily loves to scratch every one of them, sit on every level, and jump up on it from weird angles. I have a friend with a similar unit and three cats, and they love their tree too. For comparison (as I know are there several configurations of this tree, here is the one I have: Armarkat B6802 68-Inch Cat Tree, Ivory

It's true. There is no comparison. The squirrel stopper works perfectly. The most important thing is that you distance it at least 6 feet away from any trees or bushes that the squirrels can jump from, otherwise they cannot go up the pole at all. Plus, you can add several types of feeders and nice hanging plants and a hanging bird bath as well. Therefore making it quite lovely and decorative. I liked it so much that I have one in my front yard and last fall I bought this second one for my back yard. Excellent product when placed correctly!

The hutch is VERY light weight and low to the ground. At first, we had it outside on a platform, but at the first sign of s storm we pulled it inside our feed barn to be sure it didn't blow over. Also, word of caution, our rabbits eventually ate through this whole hutch - along edges dislodging the mesh, through the interior wall between the nesting box area and the open area, and actually through the side of the hutch! I love the design with the cleanout tray, etc.; however, it just didn't hold up to active bunnies. ;-( (And I bought 3 of them!)

no its wood with a sheet of aluminum covering. It's easy to pull out and clean,wash and slide in again. I will say you have to lock bunny's out (on the outside portion,while your cleaning inside of cage though). I love mines, plus the top cage you can fit a nesting box for mama bunny.

Yes, but I can say I have mine indoors, in my sunroom with 12 cats and they actually fear my rabbit! This hutch is not durable enough for outside.

The tray is plastic and it covers the entire length of the hutch. The distance between the mesh wire bottom and the tray is ~2" thus necessitating the tray being emptied every couple of days (which is a good idea anyway). If droppings/litter are allowed to build up, the tray becomes difficult to open and you'll end up with a big mess on the floor/ground. If you live where cold temps prevail in winter, care should be taken not to crack/damage the plastic tray while cleaning it. A decent cage overall but keep the exterior painted or varnished for maximum utility.

I don't know whether marshall or peters is better. I only know that big rabbits (mine are 13 and 14 pounds) can chew up a mat in one day. If you have smaller rabbits, the mats may last longer.

I'm sorry I don't know. I ended up returning this one and ordered a different hutch from a different company.

I got 4 for my place in Montana and was really impressed. Well made, easy to put together. Suggest some construction adhesive in the joints as you put it together and it'll be solid for many years. I don't think you'll have a problem with humidity and it's nice to see they're made in the US. I think I got mine for 99/prime shipping.

That's exactly what I used them for. I made a cage (using zip ties) that's now home to a large-ish rabbit. I'm using a piece of plywood for the top and built a base out of $15 worth of boards, parts and hardware cloth from my local Depot. The bunny loves it.

I gave this to my sister as a birthday present and she has two 4-6 lbs bunnies. She says that the hutch is NOT big enough for both of her rabbits to live in. Perhaps would be okay for dwarf rabbits.
