QuestionI would like to keep my rabbit outdoors in warm weather. I have been searching for instructions to build a hutch but I have not found anything that could help me. I have lived in the city my whole life and not on a farm so I know nothing about building barns or fences. I don't know, for example, how to attach the wire to the cage. I'd like to have the cage made of wood and with a wire floor and I'd like to have a run or a "backyard" added on. If I hired someone, what kind of person would I even look for? Forget farmers or breeders - they don't exist around here. Carpenter, maybe? If I can't house the rabbit outside I may have to get rid of her. :( I really don't want to do that.
AnswerSomeone who has some basic carpentry skills can build a hutch. They wouldn't want to use chicken wire, but rather cage wire or hardware cloth.
There is a good set of instructions with the necessary materials needed at http://www.rabbitweb.net/hutchsystem3.asp
