What type of housing for your Rabbit?
Here is a guide to housing your rabbit whether it be kept inside or outside.
Outside
I don’t know what country you live in so, if you are British this is a good
hutch site http://www.happyhutch.com/ I think they ship abroad but
this can be costly they do sell big hutches though.

this has good information about hutches except I disagree with this
requirement 1sqft=1pound. The hutch should be at least 5ft by 2ft for a
medium sized rabbit so as an adult it can do 4 hops. Out
door housing is also a good place to put your rabbits
especially if you have a lot mine live in the garage but
they are still litter trained and come in the house. Here is
where they live http://www.miss-eloise.co.uk click on
bunnies. Remember outdoor rabbits can die of shock
from cats or birds of pray or any other predators. Fly screen outdoor
hutches, to protect against insects. They need to come inside when the
temperature reaches 80 degrees or when it gets really cold (as in snow)
in cold weather the rabbit will appreciate more hay.
Inside
Okay firstly have you considered housing your rabbit inside your house?
They can make good house animals because they are litter trainable.
Firstly you would need to get them spayed. Visit http://www.rabbit.org
for more information about house rabbits. Remember I feel that the HRS
feeds to many veggies and are to biased against breeders.
