where can I find a waste recepticle suitable for rabbits?

Question

My mom's building a rabbit hutch. We have six rabbits, one's in a rabbit cage, and it's lined with paper underneath, so we can dispose of waste. The others are in a chicken hutch we have, and that has a removable waste pan, that we use. But mom said she went to some stores to find the pan, so she can use it for the rabbit hutch, and said that the stores dont carry them anymore. We want an easy way to dispose of rabbit waste, so the cleaning would be minimal. We plan to keep the rabbits on our patio. The rabbit hutch is planned to have three cubbies, so mom, babies, and dad would have separate resting areas if needed. But we still need easy effective waste management ideas. Please include where to find these items too. Thank You very much for your advice.

Companies that build wire cages do sell pans. They can come in different sizes.

Unless the female and male are neutered, they need to be kept apart or they will keep breeding. This means no time together, no matter how short, as rabbits can breed in a matter of seconds.

The material that covers swimming pools is a good option, you can by his online though I have forgotten the name of it. Cut this to size but slightly bigger so that it folds up around the edge so no wee can get past around edges etc, this can easily be slid off with poo and bedding still on and tipped into bin. Hope this helps.

Do you have any farm supply stores in your area? They carry things like this.  You can also do an online search on outdoor rabbit supplies.
