How big of a cage does a dwarf rabbit need?

Answer 1

If it is a house rabbit and you want to keep it happy and healthy, his cage must be 6 times his own size at least. It is suggested that he also gets exercise ouside his cage at least 2-3 hours a day in a bunny-proofed room (kitchen, secure hallway...)

Answer 2

Rabbits need at least 6ftx6ftx2ft run that is permanently attached to their accommodation. This is in addition to time outside their set up, to experience a range of new smells and see different things, just like we do!

Answer 3

How much room rabbits need depends on what size the rabbit is, and what size the rabbit's supplies and accessories are. After all the supplies (like litter box, dishes, play structures), the rabbit needs enough room to stand up to full height on hind legs (counting room for ears), stretch out to full length (laying down with legs stretched out behind), and hop at least a few paces.

See the related question below for more information about the supplies/accessories in a rabbit's cage or habitat.

Rabbits need outside their cage/enclosure every day for at least 3 hours to play, run around and exercise, socialize, snuggle, etc.

One person writes: E.g. If the rabbit is around the size of a wild rabbit you see outside than a small hutch or cage of about 20 inches by 20 inches works well.

Another person writes: Many of the rabbit cages on the market are much too small for anything but the tiniest 2 pound rabbits.

Answer 4

A cage that is big enough to have a run to hide in, an area for feed, an area to sleep, etc. I had a dwarf rabbit, and i bought him a cage with two floors because I wanted to take extra special care as he was my first rabbit. But this is not necessary.

A one floored cage is fine. Just make sure it has two compartments. One where he sleeps, and one where he has his food and runs a bit. But have a wire mesh, or build a small run out of wire so that he can run around in the garden. If you have a garden where you are 100% sure that he can't get out then let him out.

BUT If you do this then keep an eye on him, because other animals could enter. This is why I would rather strongly recommend a little run which is good enough that the rabbit can't get out and other animals can't get in, and then with this you won't have to have a close eye on him. :)

Answer 5

It should be about 5 feet by 4 feet, which is big enough for the rabbit to have separate areas for food and water, a place to rest, and a place to hide and play.

It should be tall enough so that he can stand on his hind legs without his ears touching the "ceiling" of his cage, and wide enough so he can turn around comfortably.

If he's a baby, get a cage that will fit him when he's grown. Try to get a big cage, so that if he doesn't get to run in the garden or house that much, at least he can hop around in his cage.

The size of the cage depends on how big your bunny is and how many bunnies you have.

No matter how big the cage is, your bunny needs at least 3 hours daily to run around, get some exercise, socialize, etc. This is also a good time for you to watch him, check his appearance and behaviour, make sure he's okay.

Your cage needs to be big enough to fit all the necessary supplies, to. There should be a second floor, or a shelf, or something to hop on top of. See the related questions below for more info.

Big enough to accommodate the number of rabbits you wish to house there. Each rabbit will need at least two square feet of space, and there will need to be room for food and water dishes.
