Well it really depends on how much $$$ you are willing to spend. I just finished mine about 1 month ago. Mine is an acre pen with 3 rabbits in right now. There is plenty of room for the rabbits to run. The main thing for me is make sure it is big enough and brushy enough that a pup cant sight chase the rabbit to death. Sight chasing all the time can be a bad thing for a pup. They need to learn to use their nose. I hope this helps. I think I have about 600 dollars in mine but you can build one cheaper then this.
