rabbit hutch size

[Raccoon lady]

I will be starting a small mini rex breeding program and was wondering how many hutches i need and what size. i will probably get a trio or pair. these will also be pets. Also, any pictures of your rabbit setup would be great!

I built hutches that were about 3 ft long, 36" wide with an 18" cubby for them to get out of the weather. They are about 24" high so they have room to stretch. Hope this helps.

I bought this hutch of CL. It originally was a 4 hutch unit but O took out two center dividers to make it a two hutch one for my breeder doe's.

My hutches for harlequin and mini lops were about 24 inches by 24 inches. But with mini Rex, you'll need solid floors since their feet are way more sensitive to sore hocks

You will need one hutch for each adult doe, one for each adult buck, one for each bunny you intend to keep, and at least one or two more for when you wean litters (until you sell them, butcher them, or separate them into individual cages as they get a little older.)

could i do half solid floor half wire?

 

[Raccoon lady]

would 4 24''x24'' hutches be enough for a trio?

You could. You would just have to monitor their feet before they got sores.

Possibly. 1 per rabbit, and 1 for the litter. It might be too crowded if they have large litters

My floors are all wire because at first I had a wood floor in thier hidy hole but of course they wanted to use that area to go potty. My doe started getting urine burn on her feet. I took out the wood and got them resting pads fron binnyrabbit.com to use. Easy to disinfect and no more urine burn.
