How many holes needed for small rabbitry

[3mina]

18 x 30 for ND is doe and litter size I'd think. Cages with trays have litter boxes, just not on the inside. Rabbits don't always use the same potty corner all the time. A litter box inside without a tray underneath is begging for trouble IMO. Litter boxes, no matter how clean you keep them are dirtier than one would think, in order to keep the highest cleanliness standards I wouldn't use them.

So, 18 x 30 isn't considered too small for ND, that's good. I have several cages and I like the one with the slide out tray best so far- but I still use a litter box. The litter box I use is really more like a rectangle shaped plastic bucket with sides about 7 inches high, so I fill it about 3 inches with pine shavings and cover that with straw— they always pee in their litter boxes so I'm happy with that— but they often poo outside the litter box and so the slide out tray catches the poos. I'm experimenting and right now I am lining the litter boxes with cheap trash bags- so I can just reach in and pull the trash bag out with all the litter and waste, and replace it with a fresh trash bag with new pine shavings and straw very quickly— so far this has kept the cage clean and its easy and fast.

If your trash bags are plastic. I wouldnt use it just in case one of the rabbits decided to nibble on one.
