This is what is on the bottom of the hutch.

The hutch is on top of 4 cinderblocks on each edge, and there is cardboard between the mesh and the cinderblocks. Do you think they could just sit on the mesh covered cardboard, and I can just put hay in their little upper level house thing, and then maybe in a litter box type thing, and leave the other half just mesh?
I'd like to get away from the cardboard, but right now, I don't want pee and poo to go all over my porch, KWIM? The cardboard absorbs the liquid and gives them a sturdy place to stand. But, we have to put frozen water bottles in the cage to keep the bunnies cool. We are bringing them inside during the heat of the day, but it is still pretty hot other times, so we have frozen water bottles in the cage for them. The condensation makes the hay wet.

Right now, I am having to haul the hutch onto the side of the house every few days and pitch the hay out. It doesn't take long, but it is annoying. Having hay just in a box would be helpful.
