Hi
All my rabbits are outdoors in solid wood hutches. However, I have one show buck who is a dirty little thing and likes to dig and pace in his poo (which as he digs is scattered everywhere) Even cleaning out very frequently doesn't stop him getting dirty!
He is a white rabbit (Hulstlander) so you can imagine how yellow he could/can get!
I was thinking about making a wire rack to place in his cage so the urine and feaces fall through. I know lots of you use wire on the floor (particularly show rabbits) so was hoping you could give me some advice as to what guage to use for his comfort. Hulstlanders are medium sized, usually around 5 1/2 lbs.
Thanks

p.s. He is currently in a hutch like this http://www.barrowbunnies.com/id6.htmlwith a seperate bedroom which he also jumps on the top of (which is his toilet area) and I'll be moving him to a single level hutch.
