Insulate rabbit house

[Anemon86]

I bought a rabbit house that needs to be insulated.

I have foam board of the thin variety, maybe 1-2cm thick.

Is one sheet enough, or do I need to double it?

The picture is the roof from underneath. How do I attach the foam board there, is it glue, which glue in that case?

How do I attach the foam board around the rabbit house? Glue it or use foam board nails?

Silly question, but foam board nails should only be in the board, not through the wood as well?

I will then have paneling on the outside of the foam board.

That doesn't look like it's meant to be isolated?

You need to use a glue for foam plastic, otherwise, the foam plastic will dissolve. Ask someone who knows. In the ceiling, you must have a board that covers the foam plastic otherwise the rabbits will gnaw it.

Keep in mind that it can become a humid environment for the rabbits with condensation inside if you make the house a plastic box.

I assume you mean that it's the thin plywood surfaces that should be filled in? I would have filled the space with another material. Made sure to use tongue-and-groove wood on the outside to prevent air exchange and let the filling just be clamped by the boards nailed on the outside.

Good input on the ceiling, hadn't thought about that.

Keep in mind that it can become a humid environment for the rabbits with condensation inside if you turn the house into a plastic box.

I assume you mean the thin plywood surfaces that need to be filled out? I would fill up the space with another material. Make sure to use tongue-and-groove wood on the outside to prevent air exchange, and let the filling just be clamped by the boards nailed from the outside.

Is it not possible to insulate with the ones in the picture?
