Is 3ft by 3ft big enough for a lionhead bunny cage?

Answer 1

A 3 by 3-foot cage is not really big enough for a lionhead bunny, unless it's very tall and has three or more floors.

3 by 4 feet is a good minimum cage size for a small rabbit like a lionhead (rabbits under 4 pounds).

You could go a bit smaller if you add a second floor: for example, a common style of cage is a homemade, two-floor "rabbit condo" made out of 14 by 14 inch wire grid squares (widely sold as storage cubes), and it usually measures 28 (width) by 48 (length) by 48 (height) inches.

If you keep your rabbit in a minimum-size cage, you need to make sure it gets plenty of time out in a rabbit-proofed room to play and exercise, at least 4 hours but ideally more.

A 3-foot by 3-foot cage could be used for a lionhead for these reasons:

• Temporary situations, like when you need to contain the rabbit in a new and potentially dangerous space (for example, if you're moving, or hosting house guests, or redecorating).
• An open-doors "home base" in a fully "rabbit-proofed" room -- a place for the litter box, maybe a comfy mat or blanket.
