Rabbit Hutch Design


Based of the awesome Rabbit Hutch I saw on Youtube! It's designed for four individual rabbits, three Does and a Buck, or whatever configuration is needed... The two cages on top have pans under where the mesh floor is to catch poop and urine. Though it'd be easy enough to put toilet trays in there if the rabbits are potty-trained.

I used Google Sketchup to draw these! I'm rather proud of  them.

I fully plan on building one or two of these units, as well as at least one large Rabbit Tractor to use as a grow-out pen for the bunnies. I also want to build alternative housing for the rabbits inside a small barn or large shed for when the weather gets extreme in the winter.

Great Rabbit Hutch Design!

I came across this post on youtube recently, of a fellow Canadian's awesome custom Rabbit Hutch.

It's almost exactly the same idea I was trying to figure out for a milti-rabbit hutch, for my own rabbits. Given that other multi-rabbit housing ideas out there weren't up to my standards.

I wanted a solidly built hutch that can withstand the elements here in Canada, and is strong enough to withstand the attempts of predators to gain entry (all that hutch design in the video needs are a few locking latches that racoons can't figure out), with lots of space for each rabbit, and a nice "house" where they can get out of the elements/have their babies. Ferreriinfo1111's design is nearly perfect!

I love that the one unit can house three Does and one Buck. Just have a grow-out pen for the babies (Rabbit Tractor maybe?) and you'd be set!
