The Best Hutches for Your Rabbits
Provide a secure environment for your rabbits with a well-built rabbitry. Rabbit-raising expert Bob Bennett has built more than a few hutches over the years, and he shares his plans for designing and building efficient facilities for sheltering backyard rabbits in safety and comfort, whether it's just two or as many as one hundred. If you're interested in growing into a large-scale commercial operation, Bennett will help you begin your expansion, too. Profiles of rabbit owners across the United States offer first-hand accounts of successful housing projects, lessons learned from those that were less successful, and inside glimpses of innovative methods and unique facilities.

Great book to have as a resource and/or starting place.
Full of information about cage building, including material list and design styles. Great insight in the directions with tips from a man who's built many cages.
