Hello, and thank you for your question. It is important for bunnies to have a chance to exercise and stretch their legs for at least an hour every day. You can try putting an exercise pen around the hutch so that they can have at least a small area that they can run and stretch. This is important to keep them fit mentally and physically. I hope this helps, and that your bunnies are well!
