Rabbit Hutch: Living Sheltered, Cleaning Made Simple
The hutch is where your animals retreat to. It should be dry, free of draughts and well ventilated and clean up in a few simple steps. Many people also search for a rabbit cage, and they mean the same thing: a safe home with a sleeping area and room to move. Here you will find models in wood and plastic, with one or two levels and weatherproof roofs for outdoors.
Size, levels and material
Rabbits are social animals and need room to hop and space away from each other. An XXL Vario rabbit hutch of 155x76x80 cm with a built in hay rack offers plenty of floor area, while a Suite hutch on two levels uses the height and separates sleeping and living space. For outdoors an Appartement PRO hutch with a weatherproof plastic roof is practical, and an ECO plastic hutch Samy XL of 116x73x92 cm is especially easy to wipe down. Wooden models such as the Alfred look natural in the garden.
Fitting out and upkeep
Into the hutch belong absorbent bedding, a hay rack with hay available at all times, a drinker and a sheltered sleeping area. A Bunny Base rabbit burrow as a complete set brings drinking and feeding fittings with it. Place the hutch sheltered from wind and in the shade, because heat is harder on rabbits than cold. Clean regularly, change damp bedding and check doors, catches and bars for a firm fit. Good light makes the daily check easier.
Frequently asked questions
How big should a rabbit hutch be?
As big as possible. Your animals should be able to hop, sit up on their hind legs and get away from each other, with daily time in the enclosure on top of that.
Wood or plastic?
Wood looks natural and insulates well, while plastic wipes down very easily. For outdoors a weatherproof roof and a sheltered spot matter most of all in daily use.
How often do I have to muck out?
Take damp patches out every day and change the whole bedding regularly. That keeps the hutch dry and keeps odours within limits all year round.
Hutches for indoors and outdoors
A good rabbit hutch offers shelter, a place to retreat and a dry spot to sleep. Wooden models look natural in the garden and insulate well, while plastic versions wipe down especially easily. Two-storey hutches use the height and separate sleeping and living space, and large Vario models with a built in hay rack give a group plenty of floor area. For outdoors a weatherproof roof counts, and indoors a spot without draughts. Fit the hutch out with absorbent bedding, a hay rack and a drinker, place it in the shade, because heat is harder on rabbits than cold, and check doors, catches and bars regularly. A complete set with drinking and feeding fittings saves you hunting for matching accessories. Plan for as much floor area as you can, because rabbits are social animals.
