Calculate appropriate hutch size for rabbits

Solution

Base hutch size on the rabbit's adult weight and breed. A common guideline is 1 square foot per pound of anticipated adult weight.

Explanation

Rabbits need enough space to stretch out fully, stand on their hind legs, and hop a few times. Meat breeds (larger) require significantly more space than smaller breeds. Separate spaces are needed for does with litters.

Notes

Wire floors need a solid resting board to prevent sore hocks. Ensure hutches protect from elements and predators.
