Cage dimensions for raising a show meat trio?

[Joe n TN]

FFA, 4-H, etc... kids are big on showing meat trios where I live in Texas now. If building a free standing hutch, with hanging cages, what would be the desired cage(s) sizes? Are they typically raised all together? Or in separate cages?

I am planning on building free standing hutches with free hanging cages and offering them for sale. Thanks,

Fidel

Depending on the age at showing and the personality of the individual rabbits I think they are raised together. I've never done a meat pen so I couldn't really tell you. I know they want them in good shape and looking as similar as possible.

one 36x24x18 would be fine. I would do a hanging cage, all metal.
