88 CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF RABBITS 
for spending money purposes, is contained in 
Plan No. 2. 
This hutch was originally designed by a 
California breeder named Sanderson. While 
the hutch plan given herewith is very similar 
to the original hutch, the dimensions have been 
changed in nearly every instance in order to 
fit the needs of my own back yard at the time 
the hutch was built. It is a more compact 
hutch under the present plan and much neater 
in appearance, and has all the advantages it 
ever had. 
It occupies a space of ground just 4 by 6 
feet in size with a nest box extending over 
which is 18 inches wide and 4 feet long. This 
nest box is really too large and may be made 
smaller with equally good results. A smaller 
nest box would keep warmer in cold weather 
and be more desirable for that reason, as well 
as being less expensive to build. 
The bottom of the floor is just 2 feet off the 
ground and the hutch itself is 18 inches high 
and there is a roof 6 inches higher at the peak
