Is a 8X4 ft dog kennel suitable for 2 lionhead rabbits.

Currently I have 2 lionhead rabbits living free range in a rabbit proofed room. I am going to need that room soon so was wondering if a 8 ft by 4 ft walk in dog kennel would be suitable. It has in enclosed (shed style) section measuring 3 ft by 4 ft and an outdoor (aviary style) section measuring 5 ft by 4 ft. It would be outside and the rabbits can free range in my garden for at least an hour each day. Thanks for the help :).

I'm afraid that would be too small, that is 32sqft of space, the rwaf recommends a minimum of a 6ftx2ft hutch and a permanently attached run of 8ftx6ft, giving a total minimum of 60sqft.
 
Depending on the size of your garden, and your budget, you could always add a runaround type system to another 8 x 6 run.
