A bigger problem is that they would be unaccessible in a burrow which

Get a ferret, that'll get them out.

Brasilian.

You are confused. He has rabbits, not beavers.

Hmm. That's a definate idea.
Am I going to be able to extract the heat exchanger / fit it to the
shed without breaking the pipes? Surely I can't break the seal or I'll
have refridgerant everywhere?

The poster who came up with the idea suggested using the whole fridge
as an extension to the hutch. Cutting the pipes about isn't practical.
You'd have the fridge adjacent to the hutch with access for the
rabbits. The problem then is getting a cat flap type access for
rabbits, limiting the air infiltration ('cos the condensation through
uncontrolled ventilation will use most of the fridge power) and
maintaining adequate ventilation.

You could put a tank in an old chest freezer, fill with anti-freeze
solution (propylene glycol, ethanol glycol is toxic) and pump it to
some cooling device. Run it on cheap(er) night tariff electricity. The
compressors are small compared with chillers so you'd have to conserve
the stored cooling power.
