Indoor Rabbit Hutches & Cages: Keeping Your Pets Safe

Your rabbit’s hutch is his protection against predators and disease: keep him safe and comfortable by choosing the best rabbit cage for your needs! There is a lot of controversy over whether you should keep your rabbit cage indoors or out. Here’s a look at this and other important issues to consider when choosing your new rabbit hutch.

1. What are the pros of keeping an indoor rabbit hutch?

Most Australians are aware of the disease Myxomatosis, which is usually spread from rabbit to rabbit via parasites. Though Myxo is aimed at controlling the wild rabbit population, domesticated rabbits can also become infected. Unfortunately, there is no vaccine against the disease currently available in Australia, so it’s a good idea to keep your rabbit hutch inside a shed or your home.

In addition,rabbits are sensitive to temperature and should be kept in a well-ventilated metal indoor rabbit cage on hot summer days.

2. What size is best for an indoor rabbit hutch?

A good rule of thumb is that your rabbit’s cage should be four times bigger than his body. Rabbits are social creatures and you’ll likely own more than one, so choose the largest rabbit hutch you can accommodate. You’ll find plenty of large rabbit hutches for sale on our site.

3. Is quality important when it comes to indoor rabbit cages?

Cheap rabbit hutches and cages are tempting to many prospective bunny owners, as top of the line models can be very expensive! As long as your rabbit’s cage is large enough to comfortably accommodate him, fitted appropriately and secure, a cheap rabbit hutch can be complemented with plenty of exercise, toys and run space.

4. What accessories should I include in my rabbit hutch?

Rabbits should have food, water and chews in their cage at all times. You can also add toy to your rabbit’s cage, like a tunnel. The best way to keep your rabbit stimulated is to play with him or her daily, or add another rabbit friend.
