Sample plan

Rabbit Housing should be aimed at providing adequate shelter, a healthy and comfortable environment and reduce labor requirements to a minimum and at a low cost of formation.
The rabbit spends its entire life in its cage and hence needs sufficient space to avoid the stress caused by restriction of movement. Vertical space is as important as horizontal space if the rabbit is to carry out its normal activities including stretching up its hind legs.

Protection:

Protection is required from injury within the cage, from rain, direct sunlight, direct and indirect wind, sudden noises, predators such as dogs, cats, rats, snakes and very importantly poachers.

Convenience and Ease of Management:

If the rabbit is to be well managed, the hutch should be designed to assist the keeper in carrying out daily activities such as observation, handling, feeding, mating, and cleaning.
Male and female rabbits from three to four months old should be kept in separate cages. Ideally, every fully-grown rabbit should have its own cage.
