When I had an outdoor bunny, his hutch was in two parts...One part was open, and the other part was enclosed so that he could get privacy and escape from extreme weather. In each section we had part wire bottom and part solid so he wasn't sitting on wire all the time, and he was smart enough not to soil the solid part of the floor.

Despite a lot of mixed feelings about outdoor bunnies, Winter was well-loved and lived a little over nine years. (He also looked just like PT bunny Oslo!)
