Using plastic 30 or 55 barrels for rabbit housing

Some one post this thread on the BYC. I was thinking about using them for rabbits but my concern is the rabbit might chew through them. Let me hear your thoughts.

Yes, rabbits would chew it. And depending on where you are, it wouldn't allow enough ventilation to keep it cool enough, At least here in Texas it wouldn't.

It would probably work for birds, but rabbits will definitely chew.

Although it seems very creative, there's no way I'd do it. It would be itching for a multitude of problems...
