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.
Little Graham has a palace fit for a king! He is litter box trained and gets daily running around time outside his cage.
Spoiled little Effie has three homes: an indoor cage, an outdoor hutch, and a cage at her owner's work!
This is Effie's outdoor hutch. She loves it!

Gandalf and Basil, brother and sister, are happy in their new home!
The Larsen family needed to get two cages for Basil (top cage) and Gandalf (bottom cage), after a little dominance episode :)
This is a cage Katrina built for her new little buddy, Graham! He's going to be a happy, spoiled little buck!
Cisco's cage is a dog pen attached to a hutch.
This is my setup for my house rabbit, Elsie!
Effie has a cage to stay in when her parents are away, but when they are home to watch her she gets free range of the guest room/study!
A wire cage with a solid metal bottom! Good for litter trained rabbits
I will continue to add to this as I find more cool cage ideas!
