Outdoor Rabbit Hutches need Large Runs

One thing that rabbits do need are good large rabbit hutches. For your rabbit to live in comfort outside in a situation close to that in nature, it will need a secure, and warm place to sleep and get out of the weather, and also a large area, or run, in which to exercise.

Make your rabbits home as large as you can manage. It should have an open area with glass or wire netting on at least one side so that you can see your pet and it can interact with you. It should also have an area which is enclosed on all sides so that it can sleep in privacy. Your rabbit, just like most other animals, should be able to get privacy when it wants.

Rabbit hutches and runs are to be found in most pet stores both online and offline.
If you decide to site your rabbit hutch with a run attached to it, be sure that you have wire netting under the grass in the run. It is up to you to make sure that your pet is kept contained, and not allowed to roam into neighbouring properties.

Traditionally, a large rabbit cage is usually made of wood with water-proofing on the roof. It should have sufficient space to allow your pet to move around and don’t forget that you will need access for cleaning. As well as food and water, you will also need to provide bedding material of staw or hay. You can provide the water by fixing a water bottle to the side of the rabbit hutch much the way you would for a hamster or mice. Food is provided in bowls.

Rabbits are a really good first introduction to keeping pets. They make very good pets since they are generally happy to be held and stroked and are very loving animals. As stated above, all they really need is a good rabbit hutch which is fox proof and easy to maintain.
