How to Create the Prefect Home for your Rabbit

A modern trend in building indoor rabbit hutches is to make a bunny condo out of modular storage cube squares. Many hardware and home furnishing stores sell 14-inch square wire cube components for making modular storage units. These squares can be used to construct a multi-level rabbit house that provides sufficient space for all the requirements as specified by the House Rabbit Society.

Building a rabbit condo that is three squares wide, three squares high and two squares deep will create an area measuring more than 28 cubic feet in capacity. This is far more spacious than the normal dog carrier that many people use for housing their indoor rabbits.

When building a rabbit condo, several other considerations should be kept in mind. The bare wire floor should never be used by itself, but should be covered with a material such as plywood. For easiness in cleaning, covering the flooring and shelving with vinyl tiles or linoleum is recommended. However, it should not be too slippery a surface, as rabbit feet were intended for hopping on natural earth and grass, not on smooth artificial surfaces.

Rabbits are extraordinary within our society as they are one of the few animals that are viewed as food by some people and as pets as others.

One attribute about rabbits that interferes with them enjoying free run within a home is their tendency for chewing. Although rabbits can be successfully trained to use a litter box, it is more challenging for them to be convinced not to chew such things as furniture legs and electrical wires.

House Rabbit require at least two levels, so they may jump up and down for work out. They need a supply of food, especially hay, as well as water. And, of course, a litter box is needed.
