The Best Indoor Rabbit Cages
A rabbit cage, also known as a rabbit hutch, provides a cozy space for your bunnies, giving you peace of mind knowing that they're safe. A hutch keeps your rabbit protected against other pets which might harm them. They also keep your house cleaner by consolidating droppings in one enclosed area. So which rabbit cages are best, and how do you know how to pick one? We're here to help you do just that.
What to Look For
There are a couple of things to consider when you search for the right cage for your rabbit. First, make sure it offers enough room. For those who need lots of space, we recommend Aivituvin’s rabbit hutch, which is already large but can be stacked with multiple units. On the other hand, those who need a more compact space might prefer Petsfit’s cute two-story hutch. Ease of cleaning also plays an important role. You’ll want to make sure the rabbit hutch has pull-out trays for floors and plenty of doors to get into the cage for cleaning. Krolik offers a great bunny hutch that’s simple to clean and with easy access to your bunny. To get you started on choosing your bunny’s home, we’ve compiled a list of the best rabbit cages on the market. Keep reading to discover more.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I prepare a rabbit hutch for indoor use?
First, lay a few layers of newspaper on the floor of the hutch. Next, add your preferred type of shavings, some hay for a sleeping area, and fill up the water and food feeders.
How should I prepare a rabbit hutch for outdoor use?
If you need your hutch outside and it might rain or snow, you’ll want to add some protective clear plastic sheeting around the walls for draft and moisture protection. You don’t want your poor bunnies getting damp — as long as they’re dry they can stay warm through mildly cold temperatures, down to around 40°F.
