Rabbit Cage

At Raising-Rabbits, we strongly favor cages that are easy to clean. For us, this means single cages that can be removed from their hutch frames and taken outside for cleaning...

Indoor PVC Rabbit Hutch Frame - Free plans for building a convenient PVC Indoor Cage Frame that will simplify life for you and your pet rabbit. That's because the indoor cage hangs on this durable, do-it-yourself PVC frame.

The beauty of a cage with a separate PVC frame is that you can very easily remove it from the frame and take it outdoors for cleaning. Cleaning is a cinch. Goodbye odors and burning ammonia smells. It's so much more healthy for your bunny.

Many pet rabbit owners provide their rabbit an indoor cage, and additionally permit the rabbit access to the house, or parts of it. This requires that the owner "rabbit-proof" their home, since rabbits chew by nature. The owner ensures that all electric cords are out of reach or well-covered. They have to protect furniture legs. Some rabbits can be distracted by chew toys - wooden is best, since they eat wood and bark in nature. Learn more at our Pet Rabbits page.

Wire Cages

DIY All-Wire Cage Plans for building a very large homemade all-wire cage. Hang this cage on a PVC rabbit hutch frame either inside the house or outdoors in the barn. (Ideal DIY Rabbit Cages will help you alter the dimensions, if you need a different size. We've enhanced these instructions and included many more illustrations of the cage-building process in our e-books.)


Wooden Rabbit Hutches and Cages - We've used wooden hutches, before. There are some definite drawbacks:

• They are usually enclosed on three sides, seriously reducing air flow.
• The hutch can get too hot, or become rank with odors if not cleaned very frequently. This will burn the rabbit’s lungs, predisposing him to snuffles and pneumonia.
• If you’re not alert, a rabbit could possibly chew his way to freedom.

It's not like all wood hutches are horrible. Many of the drawbacks can be minimized with attention to detail. We just much prefer our housing systems.

If you're wondering why many breeders choose all-wire cages over solid floors, read the very good explanation at Shiny Satins Rabbitry.

Nevertheless, we know that countless rabbits around the globe are kept in covered wooden hutches on legs to keep them off the ground and a little bit more secure from predators. With the proper care and attention, wooden hutches can make very suitable homes for rabbits. We know this, but we really LIKE the cages with PVC hutch frames that we use.
