So many of the rabbit cages that you see available for sale now are too small. Large rabbit cages are way more liveable for a rabbit than a small one, and it upsets us to see rabbits cooped up in such tiny rabbit hutches.

Unfortunately most people try to house their rabbit in a small rabbit cage because the smallest hutches are the cheapest. This however does not do your rabbit justice. A rabbit is a naturally playful animal and needs room to do just that, play.

Your rabbit should always have room in his cage to make at least 3 hops in the one direction. He should also be able to stand tall without being cramped by the height of the roof.
