It is because it will then help you to fit a litter box easily. About the height of the hutch it should be as high as your bunny can stand his full height comfortably. According to the general guideline if your bunny is less than 8 pounds then the rabbit hutch should be 24``x 36`` and if it is heavier than that the size would be 30``x 36``.
