  • Easily expanded

What Rabbits Need in an Enclosure

Rabbits should ideally be free-roam in a bunny-proofed room or large pen. Traditional hutches — even large ones — are considered inadequate by modern rabbit welfare standards. Rabbits need space to run, binky (leap and twist), and stretch fully. At minimum, provide a large pen with free-roam time of 3+ hours daily.

⚠️ Things to Avoid for Rabbits

  • Traditional hutches — typically far too small
  • Cages with wire floors — causes sore hocks
  • Permanent confinement without daily free-roam time
  • Keeping rabbits outdoors without predator-proof protection
  • Isolating a rabbit alone — must be bonded with another rabbit
