A wire bottom in summer to promote air circulation. And a wood bottom in winter to prevent drafts.
get a diffenrant cage the rabbit will be un comfertable imagion if you were walking on cold wire all day get on ewith a wood bottom orput some grass/hay on the floor
If there is no wire in the bottom they certainly can and will dig out.
Where did she have her babies? On the wire? They will die. In a nice warm nest box with plenty of bedding and she pulled fur?? They will be just fine. You will probably never see your rabbit in the nest box with her babies. They are very secretive about nursing their kits.

One can make a cheap rabbit trap using a length of wood to make the bottom of a cage. Surround it with stiff metal wires and construct a trap door mechanism on a wire to close once the rabbit has moved inside.
The Rabbit-proof fence was made out of wood and wire.

Short answer, boredom. Or your rabbit may be seeking a favorite grain if you feed a grain in addition to a rabbit pellet. Solution get a feeder that hangs from/through your rabbit's cage (they have a wire bottom which allows dust to filter off the feed) and hang about 6 inches up from the floor. This may not be a total solution but will help considerably.
rabbit proof fences have mesh on them as well as wire
I want to use wire mesh for the new rabbit hutch that I am building.
Yes and no. Wire mesh (not chicken wire) is good so they can let everything through, but rabbits like to have an area that they can rest and feel comfortable and I don't know about you but I would not enjoy being on wire all day. My suggestion is to put a flat sheet of wood in a corner of its cage, big enough for the rabbit to sit on, but also is away from the area that they do their business. Your rabbit may try to move the wood but (at least in my experience) they will get used to it and enjoy it.
Not necessarily. The size and type of enclosure you choose depends on what the rabbit is being kept for, whether family pet, show quality, or breeding for meat. Whatever the reason, a rabbit must have a safe, secure cage to protect it from predators (including other family pets), with enough room for litter, food and water dishes, and to lie down, sit up, and move around. As well, air flow is important, so solid sided enclosures like aquariums are not recommended. Finally, a platform to rest on is essential; standing on wire bottoms all the time will seriously injure your rabbit's paws.
