2 tips for building rabbit hutches

Your hutch should be supported by 4 sturdy legs and the floor of the hutch should be at least one foot above the ground. If you have a wire floor then you can keep a pan underneath to collect the litter or use a brush to wipe away litter that falls on your garden floor although wire floors can damage your rabbit’s hocks. You can also try shifting the hutch to different corners of your garden so that it can receive natural fertilizer from the rabbit.
The height of rabbit hutches is important too. You should make sure that your rabbit can hop inside the hutch without bumping its head on the ceiling. If you have a larger budget then you can build a duplex hutch with a rabbit run or slope so that you rabbit can move around on two different levels. This would certainly come in handy when you add a few rabbits in your hutch in future.
