Rabbit Hutch Review

There are a lot of different reasons someone might choose to raise rabbits. Whether it be for food, their fur in some cases, or as pets, there is a lot to consider before bringing home that lovable little creature from the pet store, perhaps none more urgent than where he wil be living and spending the majotiy of his time. if that time will be spent out of doors, I'd like to share some tips on picking the right home for your new rabbit, what to look for, and what features it should have.

As you are aware, rabbits have needs just like any other pet. You will of course want to provide him with a warm, cozy and dry shelter along with plenty of food and fresh water, and a clean environment. It is important that a rabbit be up off the ground. This will help prevents predator from getting at them, and in some cases even if the hutch is secure, rabbits can die just from fright. Having it elevated also lets you have access to the hutch without having to bend down making feeding, cleaning and moving the rabbits easier.

There are many different models and styles of rabbit hutches available. You also have options like buying one already made in a kit that you just put together using some basic tools and even complete plans and blueprints to make your own. Since you want a sturdy rabbit hutch, you should think about these choices. If you are not good at putting things together you might want to just buy a prefabricated one that is ready to move into. Know your limitations before starting any projects.

When you look for an outdoor rabbit hutch that is already made, be sure that is made from treated wood and the wire mesh is coated with non toxic material so it will stand up to the weather and bugs. You want the bottom of the hutch where the animal will walk around to have mesh with spaces large enough for droppings to fall through but smaller than a baby rabbit can fall through.

Your outdoor rabbit hutch will need to have an easy to remove tray for the droppings so they can be put in your compost pile and used for fertilizer later.

Side Note On Rabbit Droppings: My son decided to raise eathrworms as well as rabbits to sell to local fisherman and to the pet store up the raod. His tub of eathworms are actually below the rabbit hutch so the droppings fall into the soil. This seems to please the earthworms a great deal!

Okay, back to our outdorr rabbit hutch. The cage should have a secure door in the front as well as one for where the rabbit will go to escape bad weather, his little safety zone inside the main hutch. You are going to need to inspect and clean the hutch on a regular basis so these access points need to be large enough and conveniently located for this purpose..

it is also a good idea to keep in mind that your rabbit, if purchased at a young age, will double or triple in size so the acces to the sleeping area needs to be large enough for a full size rabbit. You will want your outdoor rabbit hutch to be warm and dry but it needs to have some type of vent for the summer to allow hot air to be removed... of course this vent will need to be closed in the winter so make sure it can do so.

You can save money by purchasing a unit with three mesh sides and a smaller secure space but make sure this is large enough for your rabbits. You will also want to purchase one with a covered top to protect against rain.

I found a really great outdoor rabbit hutch on Amazon.com it has everything you could possibly need and the rabbit just loves his new home. One really cool thing is you can add a rabbit run to the hutch to allow him to hop about more freely, which we plan on doing this summer.

Outdoor Rabbit Hutch

I recently bought my daughter a Lion's Head rabbit as a pet. Without much thought to where we were going to keep the wasculy wabbit, I took out my credit card and added a few more zero's to the family debt. A month into our new adventure and thousands of rabbit pellets later, I decided it was time to invest in an outdoor rabbit hutch. The only question was; Do I build one or buy a commercially available model.

I did a quick search on the internet, which you may be doing now as well, and I quickly decided that buying a pre-built hutch was probably going to be my best option. While I did find plans for building our bunnies new home, it appeared to me that the materials and time investment would not be significantly lower than getting one ready to go, out of the box.

I would say that my carpentry skills are quite average but I was not willing to risk the safety, and sanity, of my rabbit or daughter should something happen to him. We live out in the country and although I do not beleive we have mountain lions or the such, I know we have hawks, eagles, foxes and other predators that love rabbit meat... not to mention my ex husband as well!

Outdoor rabbit hutches come in many different styles and price ranges. I wanted to make sure mine was big enough to give our pet room to move about and also provided an area where he could seek shelter from the elements. I also did not want to have to spend a lot of time cleaning the cage.

After doing some research I learned that you could actually use a wire mesh floor so the pellets simply fall to the ground under the cage or collect in a pan hung beneath. I was worried about the rabbit standing on a metal grate but experts agree it can be done without harm to their paws.

My daughter would undoubtedly disagree with these experts so I decided to find a hutch that had the main area of the cage with a wire floor but offered a comfortable solid floor inside the small living area. I learned that rabbits can be trained to use a litter box and don't generally poop where they sleep.

I ended up getting a cage that had two levels. The lower level actually gives access out to a rabbit run that my neighbor added for me to give the bunny some much needed hopping around room while keeping him safe from predators.

When you buy a rabbit you must understand that they need a nice home to live in and it should probably be outside of the one you actually live in! There are many different sizes to choose from and I would get the biggest one you can afford. Rabbits like to hop and move around. Also, make sure they have some concealed area to hide in as well.

Tips For Buying An Outdoor Rabbit Hutch

Most rabbits are raised outside the home so it is important that you buy or build them a warm, safe and cozy hutch to live in. Rabbits make a mess and even if your intentions are to keep him inside, this may change shortlly after bring him home.

When buying an outdoor rabbit hutch, you may want to take into account the following ideas:

1. The first thing that you need to consider is the size. How big a hutch or cage should you purchase? Commonly, rabbit enthusiasts and experts suggest that you should purchase the largest hutch or cage that you can afford and will fit where you need to place it. For smaller breeds ( those who weigh around 8 lbs.), a cage that is at least 24 inches by 36 inches should be enough. Medium and larger breeds should be put in at least a cage that is 30 inches by 36 inches in size. You must provide housing that is at least four (4) times the rabbit's length, but the bigger your cage or hutch the better.

2. A rabbit hutch is a much better idea than a cage. And, if the rabbit is to saty outdoors it is an absolute necessity. A cage offers no protection from the elements and if animal control sees this you will be in a lot of hot water! So, if the rabbit is to be an outside bunny, get him an outdoor rabbit hutch. Here is a link to the one I bought for our little bunny.

3. When buying a hutch or cage with a wire floor, consider adding a solid area made of wood. This will give your rabbit a comfortable place to rest, and believe it or not, the rabbit will usually pee and poop elsewhere, like on the wire screen so clean up will be easy as pie! uh, pie and rabbit poop, bad choice of words!

4. You can actually buy a rabbit hutch for the same price as building one, especially if you put a dollar amount on your time. There are specialized materials you will need to purchaser to ensure the hutch is non-toxic to the rabbit but will hold up to insects and harsh weather. Again, if you are looking for an outdoor rabbit hutch, I highly recommend the Ware Premium Bunny Barn, which you can check out by clicking here.
