Layer two or three sheets of newspaper evenly on the bottom of the rabbit hutch to hold in any hay or wood shavings. Spread straw or wood shavings throughout. There ought to be enough for your rabbit to play and dig in, but not so much as to limit their movement. Use oak or hardwood shavings, rather than cedar or pine, as the latter can emit a gas that is dangerous to rabbits. Rabbit hutches need regular, thorough cleaning, with all the straw or wood shavings changed, once per week.
Set up a comfy area for sleeping, with hay or soft, dust-extracted straw. Rabbits should be eating hay as part of their daily diet, so be sure to replenish the hay every day.
Rabbits will also require sources of food and water in their hutch. Food can be easily provided in bowls; ideally, you should be using more than one if you have multiple rabbits. Rabbit food should consist of around 80% hay or grass, 15% leafy greens and just 5% pellets.
If you have more than one rabbit, put a drinker at either end of the hutch so they don’t have to compete for them. Water can be given in bowls, but a wall-mounted water bottle fixed to the side of the hutch will better protect the water from being spilt or soiled – it also encourages your rabbits to stretch upright.
