Rabbits make great pets, they are cuddly, they are quiet and they are great fun and love playing. Rabbits are not very high maintenance pets like dogs, which need lots of exercise and plenty of attention. All your rabbit really asks of you is a little love and attention, food, water and adequate shelter.

You can keep your rabbit either inside your home or outdoors in your yard or on your porch. Rabbits will be happy both indoors and out doors. However, not all rabbit hutches are happy indoors and outdoors. If you are going to have your rabbit live outside in your yard or on your porch, you need to pick the right outdoor rabbit hutches.

Home sweet home

When your rabbit is going to be living outside, you need to know what hazards and potential dangers it faces every single day. Aside from weather, your rabbit is more exposed to predators when living outside. Potential outdoor rabbit hutches need to be predator proof against cats, dogs, and even foxes. Your rabbit is a sitting duck in an insecure hutch or run, even in urban areas.

It is your responsibility to keep it safe. Space is the next worry that you need to take care of. Outdoor rabbit hutches need to be large enough for your rabbit when it is fully grown.

The minimum size of rabbit hutches is at least four times the size of your rabbit when it is fully outstretched. Larger rabbit hutches are greatly appreciated by your bunny. You need to make sure that your outdoor hutch can keep your rabbit dry, that is its warm enough in the colder weather and cool enough in the summer.
