If you have a rabbit, even if it is a house rabbit, you will need some form of bunny cage. Here are the reasons why you should get one.
There will be times when it is simply not safe for your rabbit to be wandering around your house or your garden. This could be because there are a lot of visitors and they risk getting trampled. It could be when the doors and gates are left open and they could escape. A cage will keep them securely locked away.
It is preferable for house rabbits and rabbits that live freely in your garden to be locked away overnight. You cannot supervise them when you are in bed and they could be nibbling things like electric cables that could cause them harm and be very inconvenient for you.
Sometimes rabbits like to get away from everyone and spend time alone. A cage with a covered nesting area gives them a place to do this.
Rabbits can be messy eaters. A cage with a spill-proof bowl is the perfect place to position their food bowl so that the rest of your house remains clean and tidy.
Some cages are small enough for you to push them around. You could even use the very small ones to take your pet to the vet or to transport them safely during a house move.
Ill rabbits may need to be separated from humans and other pets to prevent the spread of infection. A rabbit cage is an ideal way to do this.
Rabbits thrive as indoor pets. Therefore, house rabbits are very happy to be part of the family and only require an indoor hutch where they will spend short periods of time. Most indoor rabbit cages are only used overnight so that you know that they are safe when you are in bed. An indoor rabbit cage is often smaller and more compact – it does not have to be weather-proof. However, don’t forget that an indoor rabbit cage can get nibbled. Some rabbits bite their surroundings a lot so you may want to consider an indoor rabbit cage that can stand up to this.
If you choose to keep your rabbit outside, they will need a different type of hutch. It will need to be water-proof and insulated. There will need to be a waterproof covering such as asphalt on the roof to keep off the rain. Also, the nesting box must be insulated so that it is warm in the winter and cold in the summer. Over-heating is more of a danger to bunnies than getting too cold.
There are several things that you should avoid when you are buying a rabbit hutch, here are the main ones.
Our top pick of the best rabbit hutch for sale provides a cozy habitat for your little furry friend. It comprises a hard wire frame on a bottom base made of plastic. The enclosure provides safety, ventilation and comfort.
Within the cage there is a small balcony which is accessed via a ramp and for feeding there is a tip-proof dish that fixes to the balcony floor. Cleaning access is via the wire top which opens into two parts. The wire front door provides another access point. There is a hidden space under the balcony. The rabbit cage comes with a drip-proof water bottle and hay guard. You will need to assemble the case yourself but this can be done in minutes and requires no tools.
Rabbits need a lot of space so the bigger the cage the better. Ideally it should be at least six times the length of a stretched-out bunny. The more time your rabbit is going to be spending in their cage, the bigger it must be. If your bunny is only going to be shut in the cage at night when you are in bed, a hutch that allows three full bunny hops in every direction will be sufficient but it must also be tall enough to allow the rabbit to stand up on their hind legs.
Rabbits also need some sort of pen so that they can have more exercise daily. Many owners have found that dog pens are very useful for this. You could even hook two dog pens together. Many rabbit cages are compatible with extensions and runs that give your rabbit more room to exercise and play.
Rabbit cages are designed to keep your rabbit securely locked in for short periods of time when you cannot supervise them. This prevents them from escaping and getting lost. It also prevents potential predators, that could do your pet harm, from getting inside the cage. Therefore, you should keep the cage locked.
However, there is an exception to this rule. If you place the cage in a larger run or use a play-area extension, you can leave the door open whilst your rabbit is getting exercise. Then you can lock them in again at night.
Rabbit cage floors can cause a lot of damage to a rabbit’s delicate feet. It is best if the cage has a solid or slatted plastic floor. If you do have to have a wire-bottomed floor, make sure that the spacing between the wires has been designed to suit a rabbit’s feet. If you choose a cage with an inappropriate floor, it is possible that your rabbit will get ulcers on the bottom of their feet.
Both types of cages have advantages and disadvantages so before you choose the best indoor rabbit cage or outdoor hutch) think about where you want to put it and what the needs of your rabbit are.
When it comes to durability, a wire hutch will always be the best indoor rabbit cage option because it will stand up to a rabbit biting and chewing it. Rabbits are gentle and loving pets but they can incredibly destructive - especially when they are bored. Indoor rabbit cages made from wire and plastic will last longer. They also have great visibility - you can see your pet in their indoor cage all the time. The ventilation is excellent and there will be no problems with mold growth.
However, if you prefer to have natural materials that look attractive and you want the indoor cage to have private areas where your rabbit can hide away, a wooden hutch will be one of the best indoor rabbit cages for you. You can try to stop your indoor bunny from biting the cage by providing plenty of toys and other things for them to choose. On the whole, an indoor bunny cage made from wood is more attractive and very cute!
Rabbits are energetic little creatures who like to move around a lot. The best indoor rabbit cage will have space for different functions. A sleeping area, a feeding area and an area to rest in. Ramps are great for exercise and provide more space for rabbits to move around.
Make sure that the materials used in the ramps of your rabbit's cage are suitable for an indoor small animal - it should not be slippery and should not be rough on your rabbit's small feet.
Cleanliness is very important for all animals and that includes rabbits. However, you do not have to clean the whole rabbit cage every day. An indoor bunny and an outdoor bunny can be trained to poop and pee in one place. Pet owners who achieve this, make life a lot easier on themselves!
Rabbit enclosures that have a plastic toilet tray stay clean and neat and only need a clean out every month or so. The removable tray should be cleaned out every day or so - as soon as there is a lot of poop and pee in it. However, if you have multiple rabbits in the same cage, you will need to clean the pull out tray every day.
A standard rabbit cage is completely open and this gives your rabbit very little privacy. These metal or plastic cages may need to be covered at some times of the day to give your rabbit some peace. However, don't forget to leave enough space for ventilation and make sure that your rabbit cannot grab the cover and drag it into their cage.
Outdoor hutches usually have a sleeping box but they may need to be covered in bad weather.
