Tips When Choosing A Rabbit Cage

Choosing a rabbit cage for your bunnies isn’t so much of a challenge if you know what to provide for your pets. By giving them a lot of room to move around in, enough food and water, toys and chewable treats, your bunnies will be able to live happily and healthily with you. Sadly though. There are those who still don’t know the basics of taking care of a rabbit or how to choose a rabbit cage for their bunnies. They think that just because rabbits are small and light that they don’t need a cage that’s big and roomy, and that a rabbit cage that’s the “right size” is already enough to keep them happy.

If you want to avoid making your bunnies unhappy, here are some tips when choosing a rabbit cage for them:

• Size is very important, especially when choosing a rabbit cage for indoors and outdoors. The indoor rabbit cage, for example, has to be large enough for your rabbit to move around in, which is usually within the range of 100 to 120 cm in length. Whether your rabbits are of a smaller breed or are normally heavy in weight, just remember that the bigger the hutch, the better.
• When it comes to specifically the height, a rabbit cage should allow the rabbit to sit up straight without the ears touching the roof of the cage. Most experts would usually suggest a height of 40 cm or more.
• Believe it or not, even the cage door should be large enough for your bunnies. It’s also a good idea to get a cage where the door can function as a ramp as well.
