Selecting Suitable Rabbit Cages - A Short Guide to Making Your Pet Rabbit More Comfortable

Rabbit cages are compartments that are conveniently constructed to act as friendly quarters for these small creatures. They provide a pseudo-habitat for pet rabbits and combine features of a wildlife setting with those of comfortable sophisticated rooms. A well designed structure can be able to hold one or several of these in self contained setting where they can interact, play, feed and sleep. This is why selecting the right structure matters much. This choice is governed by principle factors including size and setting of the habitat which can either be indoors or outdoors.

The issue of size should be given the first priority. Everyone knows that pet rabbits are some of the most playful creatures. Yet they are purchased as play things by their owners who accordingly should give them pleasant treatment that begins with plenty of room to hop in. Ideally, the structure should have metal bars on the front, to bring in ventilation and give an outlook to the outdoors as a comfortable supplement to their inherent animal instinct. A reasonably sized hutch also makes it possible for the lively creature to play by itself without hurting itself due to room limitation.

Selecting hutches can also mean flexibility of setting. Some rabbit cages provide have a dual use - either indoors or outdoors. Such structures have mesh wire underneath to remove excrement and are light enough to give portability. On the facet of protection, they consist of well designed roofs that ward off the sun and provide shelter from rain. However, if one has a whole litter of pet rabbits, they may be housed outdoors in fenced compounds to provide plenty of room to roam and exercise.

Rabbit care is an important point to consider when they are either in their own hutches or are being exercised inside the house. The place where they live should be washed frequently and disinfected to prevent flea infestation. Some structures come packaged with compact spaces in which to insert water and food containers minimizing the risk of their being spilled all over the floor. All plastic gear like wires should be kept away from the structure to protect them against chewing.
