Cozy Spaces, Hoppy Faces

Housing & Environment

Rabbits need safe, spacious, and enriching environments to stay healthy and happy. Rather than small enclosures, we recommend indoor setups that allow plenty of room to hop, explore, and express natural behaviors.

Why Indoor Housing Matters

Indoor housing keeps rabbits safe from predators, harsh weather, and parasites. Rabbits who live inside tend to be healthier, more social, and form stronger bonds with their families.

Space Requirements

  • Minimum enclosure size: 4 ft x 4 ft (larger for bigger breeds)

  • Use exercise pens or bunny-proofed rooms instead of traditional cages

  • Allow at least 3–5 hours of free-roam or supervised playtime daily

Bunny-Proofing

  • Secure hazards like cords, baseboards, and furniture

  • Provide chew toys, tunnels, and dig boxes to redirect chewing and digging

  • Use non-slip flooring to prevent injury and discomfort

Litter & Bedding

  • Use paper-based bedding—avoid clay or clumping types, or newspaper

  • Choose soft, washable bedding like fleece or cotton mats

  • Clean litter boxes daily; do a full clean weekly

Comfort & Safety

  • Avoid drafts, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures (ideal range: 60–70°F).

  • Provide hiding spots like tunnels or cardboard houses to help them feel secure.

Enrichment & Social Interaction

  • Rotate toys and add foraging opportunities to keep rabbits mentally stimulated.

  • Spend time daily with your rabbit—rabbits are highly social and thrive on interaction.

  • Consider adopting a bonded pair for companionship if possible.
