Suggestions Based on Our Experiences
Cages for Inside the Rabbitry
Inside the rabbitry, we use stacked cages, mostly from Plank Cage Supply, https://www.facebook.com/PlankCageAndSupply/. We use 24x24 cages for bucks, 18x24 for grow-outs, and 24x30 for most does with litters.
Water Bottles
We prefer the Lixit wide-mouth water bottles in 16oz for single rabbits and 32 oz for does with litters. Once a month in winter and every two weeks in summer we clean the bottles and spouts with a solution of water and white vinegar.
Apple Cider Vinegar
We add 1-2 tsp. per gallon to our bunnies' water to help with ammonia and gut health. Any brand of organic ACV will work.

Cages for Indoor Bunnies
For pet bunnies housed indoors, this cage is our pic. Grace uses this cage for her litter-trained bunnies kept indoors (Juniper and Lily). The doors give easy access and the front door opens down to act as a ramp for bunny to enter/exit the cage. Best price is from Chewy. https://www.chewy.com/midwest-wabbitat-rabbit-home-37-in/dp/131315
Sweet PDZ
Sweet PDZ sprinkled in your rabbit's tray or litter box works wonders to minimize ammonia smell and to deter flies. Available at your local farm supply store (such as TSC).
Preferred Pellets
For our hollands, Buckeye 16% protein pellet works best. Our hollands also receive grass hay every other day and, for bunnies on the show string or raising large litters, a top dressing of custom mixed conditioner.
