This page focuses on rabbit runs and pens, the exercise space that goes alongside a rabbit's cage or hutch: modular metal exercise pens you can shape yourself, covered outdoor runs with roofs, wooden hutches with built-in runs and openable roofs, and indoor playpens with doors and rolling casters. It is for rabbit owners giving their bunny room to hop, and it complements our Rabbit Cages page.
Why every rabbit needs a run
A cage or hutch is a resting base, but rabbits need to run, jump and stretch. The House Rabbit Society describes a 4 by 4 foot exercise pen, combined with free-roam time, as an ideal setup for most rabbits, and recommends at least four hours of active play each day.
A run turns that guidance into something practical. It gives your rabbit space to binky, the joyful twisting jump healthy rabbits do, and to explore safely while you are nearby. Rabbits kept without enough exercise space are more prone to weight gain, boredom and chewing problems.
Indoor rabbit pens
Indoors, a modular metal or plastic panel pen is the most flexible option. You can make it square, rectangular or L-shaped, connect it to the open door of a cage, or move it from room to room. Panels of 24 to 36 inches stop most rabbits, though some athletic rabbits jump higher.
Put a washable rug or mat inside for grip, since rabbits slip on hardwood and tile. Add a litter box, hay, water and a hide box, and remove cables and houseplants from reach of the pen walls, because rabbits can chew through bars at the edges.
Outdoor rabbit runs
Outdoor runs need a roof. Covered runs with a mesh or solid top keep out hawks, cats and other predators, and roofed playpens up to about 87 inches long give generous space. Check the mesh is strong and fastened well, and place the run in shade with shelter from wind and rain.
Rabbits dig, and predators dig in. Put the run on a paved area, use a mesh floor under grass, or bury a skirt of wire around the edge. Bring your rabbit in or into a secure hutch at dusk, when predators are most active.
Hutch and run combinations
Wooden hutches with an attached run give a rabbit a sleeping area and a play space in one unit. Openable roofs make it easier to reach inside to clean and to pick up your rabbit gently. Storage boxes built into the frame keep hay and supplies dry.
For many rabbits, even a generous combo is still small, so treat it as a base and add extra time in a larger pen or a bunny-proofed room. Two bonded rabbits need more space than one, and they use it, chasing and playing together.
How big should a rabbit run be?
A 4 by 4 foot pen is a common recommendation for one rabbit's exercise area, and larger is better. Bonded pairs need more room. Combine the run with several hours of daily active time.
How tall should a rabbit pen be?
Panels of 24 to 36 inches contain most rabbits, but some can jump higher. Watch your rabbit in a new pen and add a cover or taller panels if they try to jump out.
Can I leave my rabbit in an outdoor run overnight?
Only in a fully enclosed, predator-proof run with a roof and a secure floor or buried mesh skirt. Most owners move rabbits into a locked hutch or indoors at night to keep them safe.
Can a rabbit pen be used for guinea pigs?
Yes. Many pens on this page are sold for rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas. Check that bar spacing is narrow enough that a small guinea pig cannot push its head through.
