It also needs to contain enough shelter to keep the rabbit comfortable in foul weather.

When you are making a decision of how big the outdoor rabbit hutch should be, you need to take into consideration the size of the rabbit when it is fully grown.The hutches size needs to be a minimum of four times the length of the rabbit when it is fully extended.
