While I did a silly thing and took in a spayed Mini Lion Lop (sad on the spayed part, in person she has a lovely butterfly pattern), she came with a nice 4.8 sq ft cage for herself and two large bags, one of timothy hay and one of pine shaving bedding that I'm pretty sure is not the best for rabbits so might go into the compost.
But the best thing other than a silly, lop-eared, fluffy-headed, friendly new doe?
A 16.7 sq ft hutch. It has three levels, including a closed in box. It's all wood so I might need to add something to keep them from chewing and something solid up about a foot to keep fleas out (suggestions would be lovely, never done ground cages before). I'm trying to decide how many rabbits to put in it. It isn't set up for being broken into pieces because of how it is made, but I figured I could put a few does and their litters in there. Does related or bought at the same time, mind you. But I'm unsure if that's enough space for a trio of does? I haven't done group housing or hutches, just singletons in all wire cages, so any advice would be amazing.
