Organising Your Rabbits Products

I wanted to share with you how I organise all of the products and items I use when looking after my buns. My buns live outside and I have had a Bun Shed built for them by my lovely uncle. Inside the Bun Shed, got a separate storage section in the shed to house all of their stuff so it is within reach and easy to access.

I have two 52L SmartStore storage containers which have clip lids and stack on top of each other, I have their Timothy Hay in there underneath the workbench. I then have a storage unit on wheels that stacks on top of each other to hold their paper litter and the rabbit and guinea pig food. This can be wheeled out from under the workbench when I need to use it. I also have a 4 drawer storage unit with deep drawers to hold their seasonal accessories like their VetBed, cooling mats and self heating mats, then I have their extra forage and treats, their Snuggle Bed covers and inserts and then the top drawer is all of the maintenance things for the shed.

On top of the workbench, I have their jars of treats and forage, their water filter jug and some decorative slate paintings and signs hanging on the walls. On the small shelf, I have their vinegar cleaning spray and their vet grade cleaning spray hanging. I then have a paper towel holder with my blue roll on it for cleaning. On the small shelf, I have two small 14L storage containers from SmartStore where I have their natural chew toys and their medicine so it is within reach when I need it.

On top of these containers, I have their carry cases which I have both hard plastic and soft material ones. Also on the small shelf I have a tub of cleaning wipes, hand sanitiser, the guinea pigs seasonal veg plates and a decorative 3D printed rabbit.

In the corner section of the storage shed, I have a pedal bin for all their rubbish and a 32L SmartStore storage container which has the rabbit blankets in for putting on their shed floors. Above the bin, I have a white board calendar for planning the month and anything I need to buy or do throughout the month. This will help not only me but also if anyone is pet sitting the rabbits and guinea pigs. I write on there what needs to be cleaned when, if there are any appointments coming up and if any medicine is due to be given.

Also above the bin on the other bit of the wall, I have C hooks that I have hung any cleaning tools on including their dustpan and brush, the fur removing tool, the mini brush set I have for the guinea pigs and the lint roller. I also have a spare bottle of water for filling up water bowls. I also have a retractable washing line hanging on the ceiling of the shed so I can dry things if I need to inside without them being outside and getting wet if it’s raining.

The storage system I had before in the previous shed.

I really like these stackable storage boxes with the clip on lids as they can hold a lot in them and also protect everything from the elements. They are the SmartStore storage containers and I got them from Amazon. I have several of the 32L and 14L boxes. These are in the summer house that holds their extra toys, tunnel and Omlet tunnel accessories, seasonal decor and the guinea pigs liners and extra fleece accessories. I also have labels that I purchased from a store on Etsy to clearly label everything so everyone knows what is inside each container. The jars of treats and forage have laminated cards inside that tell you what is inside it, what it is good for and how you give it to the rabbits and guinea pigs, either hand feeding or using it sprinkled on hay.

It has been trial and error working out the best way to store things and after having a massive clear out when the buns moved into their shed, it has really helped working out what I will need to use and what I could get rid of and give away to Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary.
