Housing

Cages for transporting: a cage for transporting a rabbit should not be very large because you do not want your bunny sliding around inside it. You can get a small wire or wood cage.

Cages for inside the home:Your bunny will be spending a lot of time here, it should be large enough for a litter box area, a feeding area, and room to sleep and move around. The cages should be at least four times the size of your bunny. If you choose a cage with plastic bottom, you will need a litter box area. but if you choose a cage with wire bottom, then you will not need a litter box area, instead, you will have a pan underneath the entire cage that will collect urine, feces, falling hay, bedding, and food.

Cage sizes that I choose   *18x24x17    *24X24X19

NOTE: It's always important to keep the cages clean. Make sure no droppings are hanging from the cages. About every months or so, I have to clean the droppings off the ground and put them behind the bunny shed. They are usually used in the flowers after that, they are very good fertilizer.

Hutches: A hutch is a bunny's outdoor home.You may choose to build your own bunny hutch or you can buy a commercial hutch. Here are some good plans to help you. First of all, a hutch us a small unit of solid construction used for housing a few animals on a backyard scale. A hutch can be made of wood and chicken wire, the most important thing to remember, bunnys are very adaptable and can be raised in many types of hutches as long as they have ventilation and are easy to clean and keep them warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and dry when it rains. So you see, a hutch can be made of really anything. Just make sure that the wood the rabbits can get to to chew on (try not to put it near where they even can) but if they do, make sure it isn't pressure treated, or they will be poisoned. I have added a drawing of an ideal hutch, remember when making the roof to put it at a slant so that the rain water wont build up on top. Hope this helps :)
