How big should a guinea pig hutch be for 2 guinea-pigs?

Answer 1

It doesn't matter what breed the rabbit is or what the rabbit looks like (although bigger rabbits of course need more room than smaller rabbits) -- the question of hutch size comes down to this: a hutch must be big enough to contain all the necessary supplies with enough room left over for the rabbit to stand up to full height, stretch out to full length, and hop a few paces at least. Any rabbit enclosure needs a litter box, hay source, water source, hidey-hole/nest area (a place to hide whenever feeling anxious -- this could be as simple as a cardboard box), comfortable resting surfaces, and some toys/play structures/diversions. See the related questions below for more info and links.

Answer 2

A Netherland Dwarf (I'm assuming) should have a cage big enough for it to have a semi large food and water bowl. It should also have enough space for it to get excercise. The largest cage it should be given is an all wire dog carrier with slits small enough the rabbit can not climb through.

Answer 3

For a hutch to go into the cage, you can get the smaller or the larger. I had two guinea pigs who loved to cuddle in the smaller one, but still liked it when I got the larger one. It just depends on your budget. Hope this helped!

Answer 4

How big a rabbit hutch is depends on the size of the rabbit, how many rabbits are using it, and the size of the other things in the hutch.

After all the supplies, a rabbit hutch needs enough room for each rabbit to stand up to full height, stretch out to full length, and hop a few paces at least. A bare-minimum hutch like this means the rabbits have plenty of time outside in a big room or run (5+ hours). But even rabbits living in a rabbit mansion need at least 3 hours of outside time per day so they can run and play and socialize, and so you can observe their appearance and behaviour for signs of ill-health.

A rabbit hutch (or cage, crate, exercise pen, cube condo, etc) needs the following supplies:

- food dishes and water source

- litter box

- toys, play structures, including at least one place where the rabbit can "hide"

- hay source (preferably more than one)

- comfortable resting surfaces (spending all day on wires or wood can lead to discomfort and Sore Hocks)

Answer 5

Should be high enough off the ground to help prevent predators or curious animals from easily reaching the animal. The inside height should be at least about two rabbits high for breeding purposes.
