If you’re looking to become the proud owner of a pet rabbit you need to buy a rabbit cage, or at least build one. So where is the best place to buy rabbit cages?

Undoubtedly the best place to buy a cage for your rabbit is online. Virtually all the rabbit hutches you see at your local pet store you will find online, usually at greatly reduced prices. Virtually all pet stores carry the same rabbit hutches which are imported into Australia from China by large importers, and the pet shops will generally buy from the same wholesalers.

However because they have much larger overheads, and because customers like the convenience of buying in a local store the markup on their rabbit cages will be much higher than the markup on the same rabbit cages on the Internet.

Online businesses have much lower overheads than regular stores and are able to make a profit on much lower margins, therefore they are able to sell rabbit cages much cheaper.

Always buy, or build, large rabbit cages rather than small ones

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.

And even worse than seeing a rabbit in a tiny rabbit hutch is to see 2 or 3 rabbits in a small cage.

So remember always buy a large rabbit cage for your rabbit and if you can’t afford to buy one then build then build one, but make it as big as possible. Read the rest of this entry
