if you're looking to build an inexpensive rabbit hutch this one i built might provide a bit of inspiration for you. i built the frame out of 2x4s i have a 3 by 6 frame on the top and a 3 by 6 frame on the bottom and then i have 2-foot corner posts so the hutch is two feet high. and i got a roll of 16 gauge wire - this 1" by 2" wire mesh and put it around the side. for the top i used some stiffer wire it's 1 x 2 inch mess as well. i actually got this off of and old barn fan that was retired and this is pretty heavy stuff - i'm notsure what gauge it is

but its heavy enough that i'm able justto lay this across a top it doesn't sagmuch in the middle. there is a separate peice of wire on the final two feet of the top here and i use gummy straps to keep that down and i have wire ties where it meets the rest of the ceilingand that way i can i can lift this up and get in prettyeasily i can also then lift up the tote here that i use for shelter and i can clean that out as i need to. on the bottom here i have a couple boards that go across the bottomframe

just to make a floor up frombottom just a little bit and then i used a tote i got at the dollar store turn it upside down and put a hole in forthe rabbit to get in this has a tendency to slide around so i screwed these little blocks of plywood on four sides just to keep it so it doesn't move around in there, and that makes it pretty sturdy. i fastened the wire to the sides using staples, just stapled it to the 2x4s and the wire on top i just fastened to thewire on the side using

wire ties. the rabbit hutch i had been using was a fairly small one that i got early onwhen the rabbit was smaller but now that she's grown biggeri decided she needed a bigger space and i'm a fan of rabbit hutches thatallow access to the ground and i also like ones that are light enough that you can slide it around and give the rabbit a new section of ground and more vegetation to eat. so this one pretty much fills all of those objectives. if you found this video useful be sure to press that like button or leave me a comment below. also, if you know of any
