18 CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF RABBITS 
Good, neat hutches, nicely painted, will add 
to any place. 
No great amount of room is needed. Many 
people are keeping large numbers of rabbits 
in small restricted city lots. The fact that 
the hutches can be placed one on top of 
another until as many as three tiers are oc- 
cupying the same space of ground goes to show 
that the amount of space at one’s disposal is 
really only a small factor in raising rabbits, 
while it might be a serious factor if other 
kinds of stock were to be kept. 
Where the hutches are built properly and 
they are cleaned out as they should be, there 
will be no need to worry about odors. The 
droppings from the rabbit come in a pellet form 
that is dry and easy to handle. The only dis- 
agreeable feature is the water, and if the hutches 
are properly constructed and bedded this will 
not amount to much. The droppings make 
an ideal lawn or garden fertilizer, even being 
better than sheep manure for this purpose. 
Rabbits do not require a great deal of time 
and attention where they are properly housed
