How do I Choose a Rabbit Hutch?

Rabbit Hutches now come in Many Different Sizes, but how do i choose the right hutch for my pet rabbit. The First thing to remember is that a rabbit hutch can never be too big. As a Minimum your hutch should be 6ft x 2ft x 2ft or equivelent floor space. Ideally your rabbit should have constant access to A Large Exercise run. Also you should remeber that your rabbit will continue to grow. Starter hutches are too small even for young rabbits and need to be replaced almost striaght away so are never a good idea. There are also alternatives to a traditional rabbit hutch. many people now keep House Rabbits or convert an old garden shed or dog kennel to a extra large rabbit hutch.

your also need to think about where you are going to put your rabbit hutch, how mutch space do you have. How mutch sun will the hutch get. Will it be exposed to rain or wind? What syle of rabbit hutch will make it as easy as possible for you to look after your rabbits. How many doors should the hutch have. do you need a roof that opens? Can you have an adjoining run or will you need a seperate run?

You should also consider how long your rabbit will live (7-10 years) Many mass produced hutches are made from thin plywood, they are too small and even if they were big enough and you looked after them they would not last long.

The best option really is to go for the largest best quality hutch that you can afford. This rustic hutch however may not be suitable for the british climate!
