Hutch

Buddy's casual address

A hutch is a freestanding cabinet or enclosure, often with shelves or compartments, originally designed for storing food or small items.

Historically, hutches were used in kitchens before built-in cabinetry became common.

In animal husbandry, a hutch refers to a small, enclosed structure for housing animals like rabbits or guinea pigs, typically made of wood and wire mesh to allow ventilation.

Some hutches have removable trays for collecting waste.

The rabbit hopped around its hutch, nibbling on hay.
