Put in for a meat rabbit trio. These are mixes and strictly for eating, but would like them to be as comfortable as possible in their lives. Plan on getting Standard Rex if this is something we wish to continue/persue. Show me how you keep them, preferably without a barn. Not an option for us just yet. Outdoor buns are allowed in code, so no major concern there. Considering keeping breeders in a safer "brood" setup, and tractor raising kits. Not opposed to colony as long as it can be done on a smaller scale (trio or quad per area). Show me what you have!

Here was my set-up. I had a shed 8x12 which I divided into 2 areas - 1 for males one for females. I only kept 2-3 boys so the girls had the bulk of the room.
The grassy area was about 12x 30 ft for them to run in. I learned from experience that you need to cover the area with 2x4inch wire mesh so they can't dig out. The perimeter was 4ft chicken wire and only one or two would try to climb out. I originally used electric fencing but the lower holes were large enough to let the babies sneak through!
