Chicken wire is a good wire to use when building a rabbit hutch- I don't know if you in the USA have the same name for it that we do here in England, but I'm referring to that type of flexible wire with hexagonal spaces between the strands that is usually sold in rolls. It's flexible, allows good ventilation, has thin strands that allow the rabbits to put their noses through to sniff the air and make them feel less encaged, but at the same time is galvanised, so is strong and cannot be bitten through. It's also easy to brush down when cleaning out the hutch, and does not trap old straw and other waste products so is healthier for the rabbits too. It can also be used in building runs for them. I have kept rabbits and guinea-pigs for many years, and have always found that chicken-wire is the best value buy.
For a rabbit hutch, it is recommended to use 14-gauge galvanized wire mesh with half-inch openings to ensure durability and safety for the rabbits. The galvanized coating helps prevent rust, while the wire spacing prevents escapes and protects the rabbits from predators. Be sure to also check the wire regularly for any signs of wear or damage to ensure the rabbits remain secure.
It is best to go to a pet shop and get a rabbit/animal friendly disinfectant, but you could also use javex, or most other disinfectants but you have to wait until the hutch is COMPLETELY dry until you put the rabbit back in. You can also clean a rabbit hutch with white vinegar. You can sprinkle a bit of baking soda in the places where is still has an unpleasant odor.
Most likely a rabbit. :)
Yes, you can cover up a rabbit hutch with a tarpaulin or specifically designed hutch cover to protect the rabbits from the elements. Make sure the cover is securely attached to prevent it from blowing away and provides adequate ventilation. Regularly check the hutch to ensure proper airflow and temperature control.
The shelter for rabbits is called a "Hutch" The place wild rabbits live is called a warren.
At least as wide as your rabbit. It will vary depending on what size rabbit they are and if they are still growing.
I want to use wire mesh for the new rabbit hutch that I am building.
A "rabbit hutch" or simply "a hutch" is a home for rabbits. Examples: We built a rabbit hutch from old lumber and mesh wire. The rabbits settled into their hutch. The door of the hutch came unlatched and the rabbits escaped.

Impossible. Your rabbit will dig out.
