What size/ dimesions do I need to build a nesting box for a new Zealand?

12" wide x 16" long is the size we made for our NZ ' with the corner open and 2" lip so no kits crawl out

Here are some ideas I prefer the first one, but the other might work better for someone else's needs!

We build ours with a full top and open bottom, that sits on rabbit wire...because we live in florida, it provides shelter in the rain, and when they kit we use a 1" layer of hay as air flow is needed in our climate....most often they will hang out on top of the box when bigger ...

I like the tops on the boxes too...the does can actually get away from their kits when they're older and begging for milk haha!
