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.
