This page brings together rabbit cages and bunny enclosures: two-story wooden hutches with attached runs, weatherproof elevated hutches, two-story cages that lift off their stand, rolling metal cages with lockable wheels, multi-level habitats that also suit guinea pigs and ferrets, and oversized cages with two running spaces. It is for anyone setting up a rabbit's home, and the guide below explains how much space a rabbit really needs.

How much space a rabbit needs

Rabbits are active animals that run, jump and stand tall. The House Rabbit Society recommends that a cage be used as a resting base rather than a full-time home, sized at roughly three to four times your rabbit's stretched-out length, with a 4 by 4 foot exercise pen and free-roam time as an ideal setup for most.

Rabbits also need at least four hours a day of active play outside a small enclosure. A cage on its own, however nice, is not enough. Plan the cage and a run or pen together, so your rabbit can hop, binky and stretch fully every day.

Hutches, cages and habitats

Wooden hutches with an attached run combine a sheltered sleeping area with space to move. Two-story designs connect levels with a ramp, adding room without using more floor. Elevated hutches keep the living area off damp ground and away from some ground-level pests.

Indoor cages on stands lift the rabbit to a convenient height for cleaning. Rolling metal cages with multiple levels suit small rabbits, guinea pigs and ferrets, and oversized habitats with two separate running spaces give more room for one rabbit or a bonded pair.

Floors, ramps and safety

Rabbits do not have padded paws, so a solid floor is kinder than bare wire. If a cage has a wire base, cover part of it with a mat, a grass mat or a thick layer of hay so your rabbit has somewhere comfortable to sit. Ramps should have grip strips and a gentle slope.

Check that doors latch securely, gaps are too small for a rabbit's head, and there are no sharp wire ends. Rabbits chew everything, so keep cables out of reach and offer plenty of hay and chew toys to protect the cage itself.

Indoor and outdoor setups

Indoor rabbits live closer to their families, which suits a sociable animal, and they are protected from heat, cold and predators. Our indoor rabbit cages page focuses on enclosures designed for inside the home.

If your rabbit lives outdoors, choose a weatherproof hutch, place it in shade, protect it from wind and rain, and make sure the run is secure against predators from above and below. Rabbits are sensitive to heat, so outdoor rabbits need shade and cool water on warm days.

Furnishing a rabbit home

Every rabbit setup needs a litter box filled with paper-based litter and topped with hay, a hay rack, a heavy water bowl or bottle, a hide box, and chew toys. Rabbits often eat while sitting in their litter box, so putting hay at one end encourages good habits.

Clean the litter box every few days and refresh bedding weekly. Watch your rabbit's droppings and appetite daily: a rabbit that stops eating or stops producing droppings for even half a day needs to see a vet who treats rabbits urgently.

What size cage does a rabbit need?

Size the cage at about three to four times your rabbit's stretched-out length, and use it as a resting base. Add an exercise pen of about 4 by 4 feet and several hours of daily free-roam time.

Can a rabbit live in a cage all the time?

No. Rabbits need several hours of active exercise every day outside a cage. A cage is fine as a safe sleeping base, but it should be paired with a pen, a bunny-proofed room or supervised free roam.

Are wire-bottom rabbit cages bad?

Bare wire floors can be uncomfortable and may contribute to sore feet. Cover wire with a solid mat, grass mat or hay, and give your rabbit plenty of soft, solid areas to rest.

Do rabbits need a hutch with a run?

A run gives an outdoor rabbit room to exercise safely. Indoors, a pen or bunny-proofed room does the same job. Either way, rabbits need daily space to hop and stretch fully.
