What size mesh would I have to put on the bottom of my sons' rabbit hutch to
stop the little buggers digging their way out, rabbits that is.

Thanks

You're a good and loving father.

I'd let them make their bid for freedom ... but I'm a terrible 'ard woman

6" layer of concrete.

I would have thought anything smaller than wabbit sized holes :-}

Is that underneath or on top of the little buggers ?

When we had a rabbit and a guinea pig, I made a wooden hutch where I
lined the interior with acrylic sheet cut to size and siliconed in
place.

Hay and bedding material were put inside in the usual way.

There were no attempts at chewing or escape and it was very easy to
keep clean and hygienic.

I wouldn't put mesh as the floor of a hutch with nothing underneath -
that would be pretty uncomfortable for the rabbit. If on a surface
such as wood you are going to have problems of bits getting caught
underneath the mesh

We used 1" mesh buried 6" but eventually they got through it and created a
vast warren, only discovered when the wife was out planting plants and broke
into their sitting room (well that's what she said it was!). They never
actually made a bid for freedom, just dissapeared for the odd day or two.
Eventually one died down the hole which created a bit of upset

Mesh size is not so imporatnt as depth. Go down a foot at least.

Both.
