Hi Jp! Where we used to live was covered with trees, so our buns were shadded all the time. Our new back yard doesn't have that. We bought a 'portable garage' from harbor fright (for about $180) and installed a mister system down the length of it. So far they are ok, but the damp is getting to some of their feed if we don't keep an eye on it. We have a small cest freezer that we fill with water filled 2 litter bottles. When it gets to around 100 degrees every cage gets a bottle and more go into the freezer so we always have new ones to swap out. (Usually take about 24 hrs to freeze all the way). Fans can also help, but you really don't want them blowing directly on the buns. The only other trick I have eard of that WE have not used yet is to take a terra cotta pot base and fill it with water. From what I have been told the rabbits love to snuggle up to the cool base. Just watch our for them getting in the water. You might get some fly strike problems then... and that's the reason we have not tried it yet.
I don't have any hutches made currently for sale. I buy the wire at Lowles. 1/2 x1 inch for the tops and bottom, 1x1 for the sides. Two rolls of each will make you two cages, with just a small amount left over for next boxes, hay racks, ect.
