Rabbit Hutch

A rabbit hutch is a pen for a pet rabbit within which the rabbit can rest, sleep, and exercise. While buying a hutch for your pet rabbit an important consideration is the size of the hutch. A smaller hutch could pose a problem for the rabbits. When a rabbit rests, it likes to stretch its entire body and occasionally turn around; therefore a hutch should have enough width to accommodate the rabbit’s restless activities. Additionally, if one has a young bunny rabbit, one should buy a hutch taking into account the fact that there could be an increase in the animal’s size once it grows to be an adult rabbit. The length of the hutch should be long enough to allow the rabbit to take one or two leaps without the rabbit bumping its nose on any obstruction. The roof of the hutch should be at a height wherein the rabbit is able to stand without folding its ears against the roof.

Rabbit hutches are usually placed in outdoor areas like gardens, backyards and patios. It is important that the hutch is designed with materials able to withstand the elements. Additionally, the hutch should also feature covers that can keep the rabbits warm in cold. For rabbit housing one can also find rabbit runs, as well as combinations of rabbit runs and hutches. Rabbit runs are also available in foldable formats that ensure they can be carried along easily when one travels.
