Rabbits have quickly risen in popularity to become the third most popular pet just behind dogs and cats. They are wonderful little creatures that are in fact very complicated both physically and emotionally, and to keep them happy and healthy you need to devote time to them and take care of them.
One of the best ways of taking care of them is to house them in a quality large rabbit hutch. This is because the rabbit hutch is the place your rabbit will be spending most of its time, so it needs to be comfortable, secure and able to protect your furry friend from the elements.
There are many types of rabbit hutches on the market with different price points and your choice will be determined by your budget and tastes, but you can never get a big enough rabbit hutch. Always go for the largest hutch you can afford. For a large rabbit the minimum hutch requirement is 5ft x 2ft x 2ft high and for giant rabbits it is 6ft x 2.6ft x 2.6ft high. Another recommendation is to get a hutch that is at least four times the size of your rabbit. This should be the minimum size and if he spends most of the time in there the more space you can give him the better.
Rabbits love to stand on their hind legs, ears stretched out sniffing everything so the large rabbit hutch you get should be big enough for them to comfortably stretch while standing on their hind legs without the ears touching the top. If you have a baby rabbit, make sure you take into consideration the size he will be when fully grown.
If you don't give your rabbit a big enough space it will get bored quickly, their area will quickly become unhealthy because of urine and faeces and your rabbit will be in danger of becoming obese.
A good large rabbit hutch should have enough room to accommodate the rabbit along with any accessories such as food bowls and water bottles.
Once you've purchased your large rabbit hutch then you should make sure to place it in a location where it is away from strong winds and direct sunlight. If you can you should keep it off the ground. During the winter months you should get a hutch cover to protect it from the cold weather.
