Rabbit basics. Help please :)

No I appreciate it. I am trying to do my research but it seems most people keep them in hutches and I’m having trouble finding out how to keep them in a space that big that’s not outside/grass. I don’t want to do it wrong lol I’m a perfectionist when it comes to my animals.
The biggest hang up for me was what bedding/footing since I have no experience with rabbits yet.

I appreciate your feedback

Blessings Sara, We just started with rabbits a couple of months ago. Before we got them I bought a wonderful book called, The Rabbit Raising Problem Solver by Karen Patry. It cost around $20 on Amazon. It covers EVERYTHING! I am so glad we have it. Plus you never know when the internet might not work. Good luck on your endeavors.

Not that you will need to put down wire in your situation, but I beg to differ about wire damaging rabbits' feet as was suggested above. Much depends on the wire, but I had a rabbit come to me with sore hocks and she healed up very nicely in my wire cage. We use a heavy gauge ½”x1” galvanized after weld. Never have had a problem with sore hocks.

We use wire for our group with no problem. We have resting mats but you could use cardboard as well.

I bought the same book, it's very informative.
