    As the title says, how big does it realistically need to be? Or is it a case of the bigger it is the better?

    As big as you want really I heard male rabbits dont burrow as much which will help from stopping them digging there way out

    How does it not make sense? I want to build a rabbit pen to help get the young dogs going and I wanted opinions on how big it needs to be.

    I've seen no evidence of any virus affecting rabbits in my area. Even the mixy has disappeared.

    I was thinking of making up something simple out of pencil stakes and sheep wire. I can build cover/hides within it then after. Just a bit unsure as to how big it needs to be to 1). Give the rabbits enough space and 2). to ensure the dogs get a good run around whilst being worked in it.

    I have a haggart out the back of the house but i don't have any cover to build it around. Any suggestions on how to provide cover for them?

    I'm thinking that i will have to bury wire at least a ft deep to stop or at least slow down the rabbits burrowing out & more so to keep predators from getting in.
