Build your rabbit hutch flush against the house and on stilts, about two feet above the ground. A good size for a rabbit hutch is four feet long, two feet wide, and three feet high. The sloped roof of the hutch should extend a little beyond the hutch to keep rain off your rabbit. One side of the hutch should have a hinge, so you can clean the hutch easily and get the rabbit out. If you re going to have several rabbits, partition the hutch off so they can have some privacy.
Rabbits prefer clean cages with a bedding layer of peat moss, straw, hay, or kitty litter.
Don t use sawdust in your rabbit hutch because it will stick to the rabbit s fur. The bedding layer should be changed twice a week and disinfected occasionally. Rabbits are such clean creatures that many of them will only dirty a corner of the hutch to stay away from the grime. Pet them regularly. Lift the rabbit by the nape of the neck with one hand while supporting its bottom with the other.
