Planning rabbit colony, your opinions?

I started off with Flemish Giants and a Champagne so even the 16 guage was tough on them.
Use what you have if it works for you. One of my doors is covered with the small weave I call rat wire, another hutch most of it is covered in 1/2". Costs too much to waste.

As far as I can see it should be fine. Since you have rabbits on this wire already, it sounds like it would be a good option. As long as the poop can fall through it then go for it. Also, I use plastic guards in my cages too, that gives them something else to be on, and I have not had any sore hops since using them now almost on 3 years. But I am always a fan of using material I have when possible. I hope that works well for you.

Wonderful! Thank you!

Ohhh ok. Yep, gotta use every bit you can! Thank you for your help!

If you have time, you might check out auctions. I was at a small livestock auction the other day, and there was an enormous pile of wire cages that sold for about $2/cage.
