Rabbit Cage?????????

Question

My mom is letting me get another rabbit cage because mine is too small...in the winter it is very cold and snowy.. so should i get a hutch, or a regular indoor cage that is pretty big...and if you could give me a site for cages that would be great.. thanks

Answer 1

I have three hutches for my rabbits. Each of them are hand made. We have a cage area, made of wire, and a house area of wood. Then when It gets cold, we just cover the cages,  or put hay in there. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

I own, a hutch which my dad made several years ago, then I plan on making my own hutches as soon as we move, but I also own 12 cages{All but two were free}

Here in Colorado we get FREEZING winters, and even some snowy summers! We

re putting my dutch bunnie's hutch next to a heater, and adding an extra cubby, and insulation, but the past few days it's been like 58 degrees, and I've had to bring her inside,

I suggest getting a hutch if you normally have weather from 55-85 degrees, if you usually have under or over by a fair amount I would purchase a cage.

I'll post links to various cages/Hutches I recommend

A great site for building indoor rabbit cages is: http://rabbitcondo.com/condo-details

It has step-by-step instructions and a video, as well as a concise list of materials.

You can also choose to build your bunny's house in a different shape then the ones on the site using the same materials. You can even make a pen or fence out of the cubes to allow the rabbit to have time to run outside its cage.

Answer 4

Definitely keep your bunnies indoors! You can actually build your own indoor cage for quite cheap: http://www.guineapigcages.com/

Originally designed with guinea pigs in mind, these cages also work for rabbits if you build it large enough and include a lid.

Answer 5

Definitely an indoor cage, especially in the winter. Your rabbit must be one of those medium or larger-sized, and during those colder months, the rabbit will be spending most of its time in the cage, so it's better to get a fairly large one. I used to have larger breed rabbits as well and know how difficult it is to get a cage suitable for their size, so I highly recommend doing it yourself. That way there's enough room and the price is low.  

Answer 6

I have my rabbits housed in a garden shed type building outside my house. The shed is 20 by 12 feet. Inside I have all wire cages 24 inches that are stacked 3 high. The doors are closed at night, fans are on during the summer. It is a completely covered building that keeps the animals from crazy weather.
