Housing Ideas

Do you plan to house your bunny indoors or outdoors? There's no right way to house your rabbit; as long as they are safe from predators and from the elements, you can really create their living space anyway you want. 
Rabbits are very sensitive to heat. If you are keeping your rabbit outside, make sure it has constant shade and can always get out of the sun. 
Unless you are going to have a house rabbit that will get frequent running around time outside its cage, make sure to it has as much room as possible. For a Holland Lop, the minimum (in my opinion), should be a 24"x24" cage, with weekly playtime outside of it. The bigger the better, always. 
Right now I have different sized hutches in my backyard next to my house, but in the future (as soon as I get a bunny shed), I'm going to get about 9 all-wire cages that are 24"x30", and still provide the bunnies with lots of running around time outside the cages several times per week or as the weather allows. 
This page will be constantly updated as I get more pictures of the babies in their new homes and as we update our own rabbitry.

Wire cages are the most common way of keeping show or breeding rabbits.
