Definitely no smaller than 6 foot long, 4 foot wide and 2 foot high.

thanks 
Saw your post about homechecks so I guess you are adopting from a rescue. My advice would be to ask what size they require and go for at least that (or it's highly likely you will fail) but the bigger the better really.
If I was getting Nethie's I personally would go for at least 10ft x 5ft so they had space to run around and binky but it's all down to personal preference of you and the rescue and how much space you have available.

I agree, nethies need a lot of space. Before I got Charlee, and because I knew I would get a small bunny, I wrongly assumed that she would be ok in a 3ft by 3ft cage Thankfully I found RU.
Her cage is 6ft by 3ft which is ok for overnight but wouldn't be big enough on a permanent basis. She really loves to get out and stretch her legs, go crazy and binky (she does these mad laps around the room). Because of this I section off my bed (both the piggies and her are in my bedroom), giving her 6ft x 8ft of running space in addition to her cage for about 14-15 hours of the day. When I first let her out, she is all excited and bounces up and down at the front of her cage :lol: and then she spends a good hour going absolutely mad. Granted the rest of the day she does very little :lol: she still comes out when she feels like it, has a wonder around, binkys etc.
After all of that, I would definitely recommend you go as big as possible. I was reluctant at first, but feel much better now (plus she is toilet trained now which helps) and love seeing her soo happy.
