​

Rabbits need a minimum space that's four to six times their size, along with enough head room to stand on their hind feet. We recommend a space no smaller than 4 feet x 6 feet.

​

The enclosure should be large enough to contain a litter box, a hidey box, food and water bowls, toys, etc. and still have enough room to stretch out.

​

The rabbit's enclosure should be somewhere that's frequently visited. Avoid drafty or super-noisy areas. Rabbits are social and animals and enjoy being talked to or receiving a quick pat on the head as you pass by. Rabbits like to be housed where all the action is - where you spend the most time. 

​

Why use an exercise pen and not a cage?

• Less Expensive

• Much easier to clean (can sweep or vacuum floor and no wire bottoms to clean)

• Portable

• Easily reconfigured to include or exclude furniture, corners, and walls

• No wire flooring! Wire flooring is uncomfortable for your rabbit, can easily cause sores on their feet, and
  eventually may cause disfigured toes.

• Cages are too small

Here are just a few examples of ideal rabbit enclosures:
