They don't eat the hay, they use it as bedding and nesting materials. I'm sorry, for I'm feeling a bit fuzzy minded in my merry making, but mice do poop as they go, no? So they would poop and pee in the hay that the rabbits could very well eat?

No, they don't go as they feed. they just go randomly (for the most part, in mouse tunnels they have a "bathroom" where the family goes). Or do you mean randomly? I think my minds fuzzy too... Lol. They are pretty clean about where they go, but they probably do drop while collecting hay.
Posted By Rabbits101 on 12/25/2011 11:50 PM Okay. I'll let you guys know more information.... I think i might just build him a cage or buy him a hutch... and i feed him 6 cups of veggies in the morning and at night i feed him 1/4 cups of his pellets.... 24/7 hay....
From your other posts, it sounds like you are not allowed to have your rabbit indoors, is that right? So you may have to concentrate on making him a really good outdoor habitat in that case. I think your idea of building one yourself is good as some hutches are small and not great homes for rabbits. Building your own, you'll be able to customise to suit and take care of any problems such as mice.
For an outdoor cage/enclosure some things to consider are:
Also, make sure bunny gets time out of the cage or hutch for exercise and play and visit them lots. : )
The diet sounds good. I think your bunny would be happy with that! Do you feed 6 cups of veggies? Wow!
okay thanks for the help. and yes i do feed him that cups of veggies every day
