House Rabbits

I'm looking for some advice on house rabbits. You know, what to do and what not to do etc.

I'm a full time mum and we have 14 rabbits so I know how to look after rabbits and that, it's my over size Dwarf Lop Robbie who I'm thinking of making a house bunny.

He is being neutered after xmas. He is so stressed in his hutch I even converted his hutch with the one underneath so he has a 2 tier but he's still paces. Vet said he should calm down after I get him done.
But as he's so friendly and he's the only 1 of my rabbits that will come when called and go back in his hutch when let out for a run (has whole garden when I am supervising the chicken when they out of their coop)

He gets on with our dog really well and so he'll have comapny when I'm out.

I plan on getting a large dog crate for him and a litter tray. He will be in the crate at night and when I am out, not that i'm out for long as it's really only the school runs and shopping so 2 hours max in the day.

Should I cover the crate with a blanket a night?? as I know rabbits don't like drafts.
Does anyone know any good house rabbit websites?? I have looked on the Rabbit Welfare Fund site as it started out a site for house rabbits, I think. Are there anyothers you know??

Beds!! Do I get a fabric bed or a plastic 1?? He doesn't chew his hutch.

Any advice would be great.

xx
