It is recommended that the minimum size indoor habitat for one rabbit is 16 square feet, with three feet of vertical length to allow your rabbit to stand on their hind legs and be able to stretch towards the ceiling or top of an enclosure.  Housing rabbits indoors (with exceptions for supervised outside playtime) is very important.  Statistically, rabbits who live outdoors have shorter lifespans and are at risk for more viruses, parasites, and bacterial infections in comparison to their indoor-living friends.  Rabbits are also extremely sensitive to temperature, with the lowest tolerable temperature of about 40 degrees F, and the highest temperature of around 80 degrees F.  It is incredibly important when adopting bunnies to consider your methods of cooling and heating your home. Do you have air conditioning, fans, heaters available?

     Note that in each of the selected picture each bunny pen is tall enough to prevent them from hopping over, meets the square footage requirements (or better, exceeds them!), has multiple forms of enrichment, clean water, hay, and a litter box. There are infinite ways you can create a wonderful bun-home! Or maybe a whole bun room, which is featured above.  All commercially available “rabbit cages” or hutches sold online or in pet stores are extremely small and confining for rabbits. Our rule of thumb is to use those small plastic cages and deconstruct them into litter boxes! It’s a creative way to repurpose old rabbit cages that are way too tiny!
