Rabbits love to have plenty of attention and you can train them to use a litter tray while being out of their rabbit hutch and in your home.

Even if your rabbit hutch acts as a safe haven and where they spend most of their time, he still needs to have plenty of attention.

At ideas-4 pets we advise our pet rabbit owners to take time to check on the size of their rabbit when they reach an adult age.

Making sure of the correct measurements allows us to help you to match the correct sized rabbit hutches available for your new bunny.

A rabbit who lives in a rabbit hutch outside can be lonely and they do like to come indoors sometimes to play with their pet rabbit supplies and have a change of scenery.

We have in stock a rabbit hutch with a built in rabbit run, or if preferred you can purchase a rabbit exercise pen for indoor and outdoor use.

Our outside rabbit hutches are weatherproofed and we stock rabbit hutch covers that will keep your pet warm and dry in bad weather.

Most predators can kill a pet rabbit without entering their rabbit hutch. If a rabbit is to be left outside in their rabbit hutch try placing your rabbit hutch in a shed or a garage for complete protection.

Your pet rabbit needs to feel secure, just like you, so take care of him well. We also have a range of pet rabbit supplies available through our website.

At ideas-4-pets we have a selection of rabbit cages and rabbit hutches for your pet rabbit. Rabbits have no pads on their feet like cats and dogs have, therefore we recommend that rabbit hutches have a solid floor. Our rabbit hutches are made out of wood with a choice of sizes and different levels, to allow your rabbit to run around and when necessary stretch himself to full height.

There is a room for a pet rabbit to sleep in a rabbit hutch and run, room to run around and room to see what is happening outside.

Today the choices are great for a pet rabbit. Our rabbit hutch and run is built on one or two levels with under runs and hutch covers to keep them warm in the wet or frosty weather.

A rabbit hutch should be regarded as your pet’s nest, a special den where he can feel safe and happy. Making your pet rabbit happy and comfortable is essential for your pet’s welfare.

Putting a small, synthetic sheepskin rug and small baby toys inside his rabbit hutch will keep him happy.

If you prefer a rabbit cage we have ones that are designed with rabbit comfort in mind. Our rabbit cages have plenty of space with a moulded plastic base.

The choice you make when you look at our rabbit hutches can depend on your decision to have your rabbit living indoors or outdoors.

At Ideas-4–Pets, we have rabbit hutches which are aimed at keeping your rabbit comfortable with enough room for it to stretch out and move around. Ideally, your rabbit needs a sleeping area and a living area and, if possible, a ramp for it to run up and down.

An indoor rabbit cage should be kept in a cool area away from drafts and direct heat.

A rabbit can take a couple of days to settle into their new home but will need to feel wanted and loved. They love to have their noses and ears gently rubbed and are in heaven if you take the time to let them sit close to you. However, they can become lonely if left on their own for a long time.

Pet rabbit care is an easy to follow routine:

Feed your pet rabbit good quality rabbit food. You can add a few bits of celery, broccoli or curly kale to their rabbit bowl as a treat. Do not give them too much lettuce as it can result in an upset stomach.

Food bowls should be made of earthenware and not plastic. Make sure they have fresh water and keep their bedding clean.

Some of the smaller varieties of rabbits such as ‘Dwarf’ are reasonably small when fully grown. However, any rabbit you purchase will need a large rabbit hutch.

There area wide variety of rabbit hutches here at Ideas-4-Pets and we take pride in helping clients choose the correct rabbit hutches for the rabbit and space they have allocated.

A rabbit hutch needs to be large enough for your pet to stand up with his or her ears pointed. It has to have enough room for him to lie down in a comfortable manner.

There should be more than one room in the hutch so your pet rabbit can have a sleeping area as well as a living area.

Once you have decided on the breed of your rabbit and the size of the rabbit hutch the next important step is to decide if your pet is going to live inside your home or outside.

Rabbits living inside a home usually do get along fine with a domestic cat or dog. However a rabbit living outside requires a good rabbit hutch which is designed for outside use.

The staff at Ideas-4-Pets are happy to help with any further questions you may have regarding our range of rabbit hutches and accessories.

The one thing rabbit owners must take into consideration when they are thinking of buying a rabbit is the rabbit hutch, and requirements for indoors rabbit hutches vary from outdoor ones.

Indoor rabbit hutches do not require weatherproofing and come in different designs. When deciding on the room your rabbit is going to be living in, make sure there is plenty of space.

Fitting a rabbit hutch in a cramped space in a corner of a room is not a good idea as a rabbit needs a taller rabbit hutch with plenty of height.  The height of the rabbit hutch is an important feature as your rabbit should be able to stand up with his ears pointing up without any difficulty.

Rabbit hutches should have a sleeping area with at least two rooms. One room is for your rabbit to sleep in and the other room for hopping around.

A rabbit is a lovely companion and is an ideal pet for a young child. Rabbits are easy to care for and with parental help will give many hours of pleasure in return for the care and love they receive.

Indoor rabbit home comforts

There are many different types of indoor rabbit cages on offer. You can choose from stationary cages that stay in one spot or mobile ones on wheels. The mobile ones are great as they can be moved around as need be with little stress or disturbance to your rabbit. You can also choose an indoor rabbit cage with solid but detachable bottom.

Or you can opt for one that has a wire floor and a slide out tray below that. The slide out tray cages offer you convenience when it comes to cleaning out your pet’s waste. All you do is slide the tray out and clean it. When it comes to keeping your pet in an indoor rabbit cage, but your space is limited, look for cages that offer multiple storeys to maximize cage space for your furry friend.

Furry care giving

Pet rabbit care is vital to ensure that your rabbit lives a long life. For that you need an adequate rabbit cage with enough room, ventilation and insulation. The rabbit cage or hutch should offer your rabbit shelter from the elements, enough fresh air and lots of space. Ideas-4-pets offers you a wide range of big and smaller rabbit hutches and cages with or without runs attached.

Your rabbit should get fresh food and water daily, keeping treats for special occasions. An important accessory to your pet rabbit care when keeping an outside rabbit is a run cover. These are great for keeping out the sun and the rain. The hutch or cage needs to be cleaned regularly, and that includes the food and water containers, in order to ensure good rabbit hygiene.

You should also keep a close eye on your rabbit’s habits and behaviour so that you can pick up on any illness quickly. Pet rabbit care need not be difficult or a chore with the right hutch or cage and accessories for your rabbit.

Indoors or outdoors is the first thing to consider. Deciding this before the time is vitally important, because this will be the deciding factor when you start looking at rabbit hutches. The reason for this is that you will need to look at completely different rabbit hutches for outdoor living.

Outdoor rabbit hutches must be able to keep the rabbit safe against the elements or the rabbit will not stay healthy for long. Outdoor rabbit hutches must be weatherproof and of far sturdier construction than those specifically for indoor living.

Factors that influence choice

Once you have decided between indoor and outdoor rabbit hutches, you must look at how easy it will be to clean the hutch. Rabbits do not like living in dirty conditions and if you buy a hutch that is difficult to clean this can become a serious problem. It is natural for people to start putting off cleaning rabbit hutches regularly if the hutches do not have easy access.

This could soon lead to many health problems for the rabbit and in reality it is a form of cruelty. Therefore, before you decide on what rabbit hutches are the best, educate yourself on the needs of rabbits.

Learn about their hygiene habits, how they like to sleep and the fact that they love to have different ‘areas’ in their rabbit hutches. It is not difficult to keep rabbits happy and healthy if you arm yourself with knowledge.
