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.
straw
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.
Rabbits can live in a hutch outside with a surrounding of chicken wire. During the night it is best to bring your rabbit inside in a little hutch for inside. Be carefull of its whereabouts.Domestic rabbits live anywhere people keep them. Domestic rabbits don't naturally live anywhere in the wild: that's what makes them domesticated. All the different breeds of domestic rabbit were bred from a single species: the European Rabbit. Wild European Rabbits live in the Mediterranean region.
yes in the winter a little in the summer but not enough for the rabbit to get direct sunlight and get a heatstroke
Most likely a rabbit. :)
The shelter for rabbits is called a "Hutch" The place wild rabbits live is called a warren.
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.

That is the correct spelling of the noun "hutch" (a cabinet or rabbit cage).
