Product Description
The large TRIXIE 2-Story Natura Rabbit Retreat is ideal for outdoor use. Solid wood construction, finest materials, and glazed pine finish mean this attractive hutch will endure years of use with very little maintenance. The two-story design allows your pet to roam inside and outside, upstairs and downstairs, in the sun or in the shade for ideal comfort. However, the non-slip ramp and interior hatch door give the owner options to restrict access as needed. The durable, powder-coated metal lattice and lockable hatch will help keep your pet safe while keeping out unwanted visitors. The hinged roof has a special weatherproof coating and can be completely opened from the top for additional accessibility, and the plastic pull-out tray allows for easy maintenance. Two front doors also make helping your pet in and out of the hutch far simpler. Wood panel at the back offers additional protection from the elements. Suitable for small animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs. Winter and weatherproof. Quick and easy assembly. One year warranty. Dimension: 41 x 20 x 39 in. Weight: 55 lbs. Color: glazed pine. Please note: water bottle and bowl in picture are not included.

Some issues that I have with this hutch:
First, when I went to assemble the hutch, I found that several pilot holes were missing. I didn't think this was a big deal at the time, so I just used my power drill to drill in the screws without pilot holes. The wood began to split (not so much that it was unusable, but it was definitely a concern). I would highly recommend drilling your own pilot holes whenever necessary.
Second, the picture and description does not show that on the upper floor, there are two build in troughs. One trough spans the entire width of the hutch for the front half, and the other is in the back of the private area of the hutch. I was planning on placing a litter box that my bun was already used to inside the hutch, but the troughs made that impossible. Also, the picture does not show that over 1/4 of the upper floor space us used as a hole for access to the ramp. This severely limits the amount of space that I was anticipating for my bunny.
Third, my bun has a knack for escape, and within 24 hours of living in this hutch has figured out how to undo the bolt on the second story and escape. This is not a big deal if your bun is house trained, but if you have other animals, or wooden furniture, this could be a problem.
Last, the wood used to make this hutch is, apparently, very tasty. My bun chews on his walls more than his chew toys. We fixed this problem by zip-tying some wooden dowels to the edges where he chews most. These are cheap and replaceable, so he can chew through as many as he wants!
Other than the drawbacks that I've pointed out, this is a great hutch. It is very sturdy, and my bun seems to love it. We are using it for an indoor hutch, so we usually just leave all 3 doors open and let our bunny hop in and out. He didn't like the ramp at first, but he got used to it in no time. We laid down towels in the upper story troughs for him to sleep on, and placed his litter box in the private area for him. Our bun likes to tip over his water bowl (we don't use a bottle), but we found that the back side of the ramp is an excellent place to put it so that he can't tip it.
I hope this review is helpful to any prospective buyers.

Purchase this hutch for one rabbit and am now using it for two. There is a hatch that closes to separate the bottom from the top. Good quality and great price. Would highly recommend this hutch. Please note that a rabbit will chew the inside edges of the hutch.

We received the rabbit hutch very quickly after it was ordered. My 16-year old daughter actually assembled it by herself. Our bunny is very happy. She likes to move from the top to the bottom. We have the rabbit hutch in our family room. We bought an indoor/outdoor rug to put on the bottom. The hutch is pretty easy to move with 2 people. Once we move it, we can take the rug and shake out all of the hay/bedding etc. We clean everything and then move the hutch back in place. The top opens which makes it easy to clean the top area and feed your rabbit. The locks are solid. We are very happy with our purchase and are now looking for a bunny to share the space.

Great hutch, except for the hinges.
Putting this hutch together was a breeze. I reccomend a strong shoulder rather than a power drill, because the wood is so soft. Read more

Love, love, LOVED it.
I have a little dwarf rabbit, and he's been absolutely loving this new cage. I really like the fact that there's a latch so that you can close off the top from the bottom. Read more

Great price for what you get
As others have mentioned, it would be nice if there was a floor to this hutch on the bottom portion, but that's easily remedied if you're somewhat handy and have a home improvement... Read more

Great quality I don't think so
The locks barely stay closed, there is no wire over the pull out pan so the bunny would end up sitting in the mess and the wood if you can call it that is so thin the entire hutch... Read more
