Choosing the right hutch for your pet rabbit is vital to its health and well-being. Here is a beginner’s guide to help you choose the right rabbit hutch for your pet.

First of all, you need to decide on the type of rabbit you want as a pet so that you can choose a hutch that suits your breed of rabbit. Ask your breeder what the maximum size your rabbit could grow to be, as this will help you decide on the size of the cage.

After that, you will need to decide where to keep your pet rabbit. Most of the time, rabbits are kept outside in a hutch and run around for exercise. Alternatively, rabbits can be kept indoors in a cage with access to an indoor pen.

The next thing you will need to do is decide what size hutch is best for your type of rabbit. The shortest recommended length for a rabbit hutch is 4 feet for a dwarf rabbit or 5 feet for a larger pet rabbit. The width of the cage should allow room for your rabbit to lie down comfortably and the height should allow it to stand fully on its hind legs.

After that, you will have to think about what you can afford. Rabbit cages typically cost upwards of £50 for a plain cage and could set you back £100 if you want something fancier. At a minimum, you will need a cabin with a separate enclosed room such as a sleeping area and a small outside area.

Other important considerations when choosing your rabbit hutch is making sure that it is safe from predators such as dogs or foxes and also that it is easy to clean. Check that the doors are very secure so that your rabbit is safe from predators such as foxes or dogs and that your pet cannot get out of the cage. Also check that the cabinet door provides easy access to the interior of the cabinet for cleaning.
