What do rabbit's look like?

Answer 1

square

or, more often, rectangular

Size: There are many rabbit cages sold in stores that are too small for even the smallest rabbit. A rabbit cage should be big enough so the rabbit can stand up on hind legs without touching the ceiling, stretch out to full length without touching either end, and hop a few paces at least - and that's after all the supplies are inside (like a litter box, hay rack, toys).

Flooring: Some rabbit cages have wire grid flooring so the waste can fall through to a lower tray. Rabbits don't have pads on their feet, only skin and fur, so standing on grid surfaces is very uncomfortable and can lead to a condition called "sore hocks." Solid-bottomed cages are better. Rabbits are easily litter trained, so include a litter box: it's cleaner for you and for the rabbit. If your only option is a cage with a wire grid floor, give the rabbit a square of cardboard to sit on to get relief from the grid.

Doorways: Rabbits don't often like being handled, especially going in and out of their cage (which should be a comforting, secure place for them). Some rabbit cages have feet and stand high above the floor, but it's better to choose a cage the rabbit can hop in and out of on their own. If the door opens downward to make a ramp, cover it with plywood or cardboard so the rabbit's feet don't slip through, causing serious injury.

Other Options: Instead of a cage you could use a dog crate, or an exercise pen, or you can build a "cube condo" with wire grids (sometimes called NICs, these are wire grid cubing sold in hardware and home stores as storage cubes).
