In countries where the climate is hot but fairly constant (mean minimum and maximum between 20 and 30 degrees centigrade) closed buildings are not really necessary. All that is needed is to protect the rabbits against the weather. If the cages are of wood or concrete (solid walls), it may be enough to roof each hutch, as shown in the figure above. A roof should keep off rain and also heat from direct sunlight. The hutches can also be placed under trees big enough to shade them all day long. A roof should overhang enough to keep water out on rainy and windy days. The hutches should be placed facing way from the prevailing winds.
