My wife wants to purchase a rabbit for our son's Easter gift. She hasnt found any cages/hutches that are suitable for the little guy (based on size, comfort, and cost). We decided to convert an old end table into a rabbit hutch. The main objective of this project was to keep the cost low, and provide the rabbit a spacious and comfortable domicile. This can also be easily done with any old dresser, cabinet, or basic wooded box.

List of Materials:

-Ruler
-Power Drill with any size drill bit
-Power saw
-Staple gun with staples
-1/2" Mesh (cut to your specific dimensions)
-Piano Hinge
-Sand paper
-Screw driver
-Wire cutters
-Wood screws
-1"x1/2" wood

Step 1: Convert End Table to Rabbit Hutch Step 1

Step 1: Find cheap end table/cabinet/dresser (We found ours at a thrift store for $14). Gut the end table/cabinet/dresser (clear out extra drawers/shelves). We left a shelf in for future use as a rabbit loft.

Step 2: Convert End Table to Rabbit Hutch Step 2

Step 2: Measure front of end table/cabinet/dresser to determine mesh door frame size. Remove the original door(if there is no door, remove front of end table/cabinet/dresser).

Step 3: Convert End Table to Rabbit Hutch Step 3

Step 3: cut 1"x1/2" wood strips to fit previously measured frame. Cut the ends of the wood strips into 45 degree angles so that two strips together makes a right angle. Screw the wood strips together and test fit the square in the frame.

Step 4: Convert End Table to Rabbit Hutch Step 4

Step 4: Drill the Piano hinge to the frame of the end table/cabinet/dresser. After you have confirmed that the wood strip frame fits into the end table/cabinet/dresser, drill the other side of the piano hinge into the wood strip frame.
