Hutch (animal cage)

Other small animals can also be housed in hutches such as guinea pigs, ferrets, and hamsters.

Most hutches have a frame constructed of wood, including legs to keep the unit off the ground.

Some hutches have built-in nest boxes and shingled roofs—these are generally intended to be placed directly outside rather than inside another shelter such as a barn.

[1] The generally accepted minimum hutch size is 10 square feet for a 4 kg medium-sized breed.

However, it has in the past decade, become unacceptable for people who are more knowledgeable about rabbits' needs that they should live in a hutch of this size, or any small cage for that matter.
