I was wondering is this cage big enuff? I let them out the hole day except when i go to skool and at night but is it big enuff for when they are staying in their cage?
Thanks.
You said you let them out the whole day except when you're at school. Are you at school all day? This size of cage is definitely too small for rabbits who spend more time in it than they do out of it. I use cages of this size for overnight cages in bad weather, but my rabbits have cages many times bigger for day-time and also a separate exercise yard for when I have time to put them in there. While I understand not everyone has the space for rabbit cages the size of mine (I keep two rabbits in 2.5 x 1.5 metre hutches), if you do confine them to a smaller area, you do need to make sure they have time to spend in a larger area where they can stretch their legs. Rabbits, like any animal, need to burn off energy. If they don't get the chance to do this, they can become destructive, agitated and even start fighting with each other. Space is one of the best ways to ensure your rabbits always get along. Confined spaces long term can cause problems. If you do have the chance daily to let them into a larger area, make sure it's not only large enough for running in for the rabbits, but also put in some interesting objects for them to play with. I have large and small boxes, volley balls, pine cones, cat tubes and even a fold-up chair in my exercise pen and my rabbits have a lot of fun. Mental stimulation is just as important as exercise for confined bunnies.
The minimum size of a rabbit hutch should be 6ft by 2ft by 2ft with a 6 ft by 4 ft run. That cage is far too small, you could use it as a base remove the door and add a large puppy pen to this.
That cage is too small unless they are never locked in it. The need cages at least 10 square feet (and that's still small) and need floor time for at least 8 hours a day. Rabbits do best free range.
Yes your cage has plenty of room for your rabbit just make ssure ... when ever you have time take them out and spend as much time with them as possible.
No, your cage should be four times a big as your bun in all directions, preferably bigger.
No way to both of them, needs to be alot bigger especially if you are going to have two bunnies in the same cage.
sure is .. .. Rabbits dont need as much room as most people say. especially if they are out and about throughout the day!
