I love the idea of having rabbits, especially since their manure does not have to be composted.
My question......how many rabbits can you put in one cage/pen? I noticed that Patti had several together (I'm sure they are the same gender). Will they fight?
Thanks for any info!

If you have a hutch then depending on the size two could work. It also depends on the size rabbits you want as well. In my 4x8 raised bed I have 4 regular sized does (female) rabbits.

Can I use the chicken tractor design for bunnies as is or do I need to put a wire floor to keep their feet out of the bunny poop? If I put the floor in would I need to put a support bar in the middle to prevent sagging?

I would caution having multiply adult females/breeding age females as they will ride each other and cause false pregnancy. I do keep young together in one hutch based on size. As they get older I separate males and females. At least that is how it has been working at my place. Just a thought
