I've seen rabbit pens at the petting farm. The bottoms and sides are
chicken wire. The top and a little shelter inside are wood so the
rabbits can get out of the sun. Come to think of it the pens aren't
right on the ground. Maybe something stronger like 1/2" carpenter mesh
would be a better choice. It would be hard for them to break the mesh
to get out through the bottom.
