We all dream of owning own own luxury apartment, LED spotlighting, automatic shutters, 24/7 rolling CCTV & even underfloor heating. Despite it only ever remaining a dream for some human beings, two rabbits, however, are indeed living the dream and the life of stylish luxury.
Each night the pair hit the hay safe in the knowledge that they have heating to keep them warm, automatic shutters to shield them from bad weather and security cameras to watch over them.
Many humans wouldn’t mind the creature comforts that rabbits Hunnie and Runnie enjoy in their spacious £10,000 residence. The two-storey log cabin was built by electrician Jason Batterbee – who lives in the neighbouring bungalow with wife Mairi, 37. Even when the couple are on holiday, they are able to check on their pets back in Dersingham, Norfolk, by viewing the camera, webcam feeds on a laptop and operating the hutch’s controls via mobile phone.
Each time they send a command, they receive an automatic text message to assure and to confirm to them that it has been carried out.
However, technology hasn’t yet come up with a solution for feeding time – which is taken over by friends when the couple go away.
Mr Batterbee, 41, said: ‘It took a lot of time and effort but if you think what people spend on their children this is nothing in comparison.
‘They could be considered the most pampered pets in the world but they are worth it.
‘The cameras even have an infra-red facility so we can check on them after dark.’
The custom-built hutch weighs a ton and is 7ft 6in wide and 4ft high.
The stylish hutch also boasts a ceiling fan to keep the rabbits cool on warm days beneath a roof covered with felt and shingle, and is connected to a 12 volt battery power supply.
What a desirable property it is! Many a bunny I’m sure would only dream of living in such an aspiring property... the guide price does however put me off somewhat. I would simply put the question forward to simply say whether or not MR Batterbee hasn’t got anything better to spend his money on? I do find it slightly ludicrous that he can have the audacity to spend money on a deluxe rabbit hutch when there are families who cannot even afford their energy bills! Then again of course he can do as he pleases with his own cash... pity he didn’t have anything else of importance to spend with it though! Regardless of my negative vibes, these rabbits are getting the true lap of luxury! Never has there been such a spoilt bunny... funny old world though isn’t it? MR Batterbee’s rabbits shall be living far more securely and safely, more so than some human beings, yes... funny old world!
