Rabbit cages and Hutches

Before they look at the different housing options, you ought to understand that the more room your bunny has when she is confined, the better. You might think because a specific bunny is a dwarf, they doesn't need as much room as a bigger bunny. Not true. Dwarfs have lots of energy, and therefore, need lots of room to move, roam and run. The cages you see at pet stores claiming to be for guinea pigs and dwarf rabbitsll for any rabbit, no matter what size.

Your bunny's housing will need lots of room for a full-size litter box (think about having in case you have bunnies,) her hay box, her food bowl and either a water bowl or a water bottle. In addition, you'll be wanting to make positive your bunny has lots of entertainment, so they doesn't get bored when she is confined. (For an idea of the kind of toys bunnies love, read the section Exercise and Entertainment.nt her to have lots of roomnot  room to turn around. Make positive her cage is at least times her size.
There's lots of fun cage options your bunny will love: NIC condos and exercise pens are the most popular housing for bunnies who don't have free reign. Other options include giant dog carriers, cages designed specifically for rabbits and hutches.
Since they don't have room to speak about all of them in an electronic mail, let me confine myself to the best in my view - Neat Idea Cubes! (They are roomy, fun to put together, and cheap).

NIC condos are simple to put together, but it is a time consuming method. (In case you make, let your bunny watch you. She'll love to sniff and inquire in to what you are doing.) In case you need to make a condo for your bunny, you first need to choose how giant you need it to be. How lots of floors? Let's say you choose to make a four-floor condo for your bunny. Here's what you'll need to start:
  • You'll need packages of Neat Idea Cubes (assuming they come eight in a package) because you'll need at least 47 pieces to build the condo. You can get the Neat Idea Cubes from places like Target, Wal-Mart, Costco, and you can check with Home Improvement and Lowe's.
  • Package (you may find you need more) of cable ties.
  • A pair of scissors
    Then, do a search on the net (they like Google) for "Neat Idea Cubes Articles" and you'll find about a half dozen sites with step by step instructions.
