We use it in the house for bunny when we are not home and overnight to keep him out of trouble. I am not sure how well it would survive outside in the weather if it were set up as an outside hutch.
We ordered this large dog house and it looks nice. We had it put together in under an hour. The floor boards will hold, but we wish there were some reinforcement underneath. The company sells the houses by dog size and weight. Our Husky is tall and weighs about 55-60lbs. The house is nice quality with the roof on hinges for easy access to cleaning. We ordered direct from Zimtown and shipping was free. It came from across the US and arrived in under 4 days -- that was great!
