The absolute smallest size (for example, for a rabbit caged only at night when the family is in bed) should allow three full bunny hops in each direction, as well as being tall enough for the rabbit to stand on its hind legs to look around.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_an_indoor_rabbits_cage_look_like\"><\/span>What should an indoor rabbits cage look like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>A cage with wire sides and top give your rabbit plenty of airflow and it&#8217;ll be quite easy to clean. However, make sure the floor is not just made of wire. Your rabbit should not be forced to sit or stand on wire meshing for long periods of time. Consider an open-top cage, like a puppy pen.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_type_of_cage_is_best_for_rabbits\"><\/span>What type of cage is best for rabbits?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The best kind of cage for rabbits is a <b>pet playpen. This type of enclosure gives your rabbit more space, is cheaper, and securely keeps your rabbit out of trouble. In the end, the cage you get should be 3 times the length of your rabbit and twice the width.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_good_size_cage_for_a_rabbit\"><\/span>What is a good size cage for a rabbit?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On an average, a rabbit cage or hutch should <b>at least be 4 times larger than the rabbit&#8217;s size. As a rule of thumb, you can get 30 inches x 36 inches for a bigger rabbit and 24 inches x 36 inches for a smaller one. The two-story condo-style hutches are much loved by rabbits as well.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_my_bunnies_cage_look_like\"><\/span>What should my bunnies cage look like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The floor of the hutch <b>part of your rabbits&#8217; enclosure should be covered with newspaper with a layer of bedding material placed on top of the newspaper (straw, grass hay or shredded paper) to provide warmth, comfort and to prevent your rabbits from developing pressure sores on their feet, and also allow natural digging <\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_inside_a_rabbit_hutch_look_like\"><\/span>What should inside a rabbit hutch look like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Essential items to help you care for your rabbit<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A spacious and secure hutch.  <\/li>\n<li>Bedding materials.  <\/li>\n<li>Litter trays and fillings.  <\/li>\n<li>Plenty of hay and other food.  <\/li>\n<li>A food bowl or dispenser.  <\/li>\n<li>A bottle or water bowl.  <\/li>\n<li>Toys.  <\/li>\n<li>Rabbit-safe cleaning products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_a_rabbit_cage_contain\"><\/span>What should a rabbit cage contain?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>There needs to be room for your rabbit to move about and lie down, as well as space for food, water, litter box and toys.
