Rabbits are sociable creatures that enjoy living with other rabbits, so if you decide to purchase more than one then it is it essential for each of your rabbit’s happiness to purchase a rabbit hutch with two compartments, as rabbits prefer to sleep alone at night. The hutch should be spacious and comfortable, allowing them room to exercise and move around.

If you decide an outdoor rabbit hutch is the ideal solution for both you and your home then you should make sure your rabbit has plenty of bedding to keep you warm, especially during the cold winter nights, also ensure no draughts can enter the hutch. The hutch should be placed on bricks or legs to avoid the bottom becoming damp and the roof should be sloped and waterproofed.

Many gardens are subject to predators, such as a wild fox or a cat, to prevent your pet being harmed, make sure the hutch is secure and safe with a lock and is made from strong wood.

The rabbit hutch should be cleaned regularly to reduce the risk of flies or maggots but also to keep your rabbit happy and healthy. Remove soiled bedding everyday and clean the hutch once a week with warm water and a mild detergent.

In the warm weather you pet needs to be shaded from direct sunlight as exposure can result in discomfort, distress and sickness.

Also, remember, your pet may be outside but it still needs company and attention.

One of the main problems in the colder months is that water is vulnerable to freezing – in regards to rabbits and rabbit hutches this means you need to check your rabbits water every morning to ensure it hasn’t frozen.

On a similar note, it is critical in the winter months that you don’t allow your rabbit’s bedding to become wet – or your rabbit for that matter! – as this water could freeze, which will be a great discomfort for your pet.

It’s no surprise that when it becomes cold rabbits like to cuddle up in their rabbit hutches to either other rabbits or plenty of hay, and therefore you should introduce a little extra hay to your rabbit hutches when things get cold, you also need to ensure you don’t scrimp on their food.

Throughout the year, including the winter months, your rabbits will be vulnerable to predation if they are kept outdoors and therefore you need to ensure your rabbit hutches are kept secure – which will ensure your rabbits are kept safe, as well as preventing them from escaping out into the cold!

Whilst your house rabbit will have a variety of needs, one of the most important is the need for space – and just because your rabbit is an indoor variety, it doesn’t mean they enjoy confined spaces.

With this in mind, just like with all caged animals it is crucially important that your rabbit is let out or their rabbit hutch on a frequent basis, which will not only help it to exercise, but also help to satisfy the inherent instinct to roam.

Of course your rabbit won’t be out of their rabbit hutch on a permanent basis, as they might get lost, and therefore you need to ensure that your indoor rabbit cage conforms to the appropriate size requirements, which will vary depending on the size of your pet but will be around 30” by 36.”

Whilst indoor rabbit varieties are ideally suited to an indoor setting, they will still benefit from occasion fresh air and sunshine. Therefore it is a good idea that from time to time you allow them some roaming time in an outdoor setting. Of course the outdoors can be a dangerous place, so if you plan on giving your rabbit some outdoor time unattended, it might be a good idea to invest in outdoor rabbit hutches.

First up, you need to choose a rabbit hutch that’s big enough. Rabbits need to have separate living areas if they’re going to be comfortable, so make sure that they have space for a sleeping area, eating area and even a toilet area, as you want them to be as happy as possible in their home.

You’ll also need to consider the material that the hutch will be made out of, and that often comes down to whether your rabbit will be kept indoors or outside. External rabbit hutches tend to be made of sturdy wood with a wire mesh portion for them to see the outside world, whereas indoor hutches tend to be simple cage designs.

The price is bound to be one of the most important considerations, but luckily going for a value option doesn’t necessarily mean lack of quality – or at least it doesn’t if you come to us here at ideas-4-pets.

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.
