Keep in mind that the average normal litter of rabbits contains five kits. The rabbit cage must be large enough to also hold a nest box for the last week of the doe’s pregnancy until the kits are approximately 2 weeks of age. The nest box is similar to a crib for a human child; it provides a warm bed for the new baby rabbits.

For a male breeding rabbit, also known as a buck, the cage must be large enough to allow breeding to take place. Since does are usually brought to the buck’s cage for breeding, the hutch must be large enough to allow two adult rabbits to move freely.
