I am making a rabbit hutch for a friend and to avoid nails through the
plywood roof, I was thinking of using roofing cement to adhere the 3
tab shingles to the wood instead of nails.

Will the roofing cement suffice in windy/stormy weather once it has
dried/cured? This is not a high tech/demanding project, just want
something trouble free.

Then go with metal and use short screws. You can put metal on
plywood to keep the heat down. Use the techshield decking and
you will further enhance the cool underside of the roof.

If you try to glue shingles down, are you going to first glue
down the felt and then glue the shingles to the felt? You are
not thinking about eliminating the felt are you?
