Outdoor dreamland

I recently bought my daughter a Lion’s head rabbit as a pet. Without much understanding to where we were going to keep the “wasculy wabbit,” I took out my reputation card and added a few more zero’s to the house debt. A month into our new adventure and thousands of rabbit pellets later, I decided it was time to spend in an outdoor rabbit hutch. The only query was; Do I build one or buy a commercially available model.

I did a quick quest 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 construction our bunnies new home, it appeared to me that the materials and time speculation would not be significantly lower than getting one ready to go, out of the box.

I would say that my carpentry skills are quite midpoint 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 separate 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 protection from the elements. I also did not want to have to spend a lot of time cleaning the cage.

After doing some investigate I learned that you could undoubtedly use a wire mesh floor so the pellets simply fall to the ground under the cage or accumulate 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 ordinarily poop where they sleep.

I ended up getting a cage that had two levels. The lower level undoubtedly gives passage out to a rabbit run that my neighbor added for me to give the bunny some much needed hopping nearby room while holding 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 surface of the one you undoubtedly live in! There are many separate sizes to select 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.
