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
