Large Cages For Bunnies

Rabbits need a large cage or hutch.


Choosing the right cage or hutch can mean the difference between your rabbit living a long, healthy life and chronic health or behavior issues. Rabbits do not have pads on their feet like dogs and cats, and cages with wire floors can lead to discomfort and sores. Your rabbit's cage or hutch should be as large as possible, with multiple doors to get access to your pet, and made of materials that can withstand chewing.


Super Pet Habitat Defined Home for Rabbits


The Super Pet Habitat Defined Home for Rabbits is manufactured by Super Pet, and available from PETCO. This product boasts an antimicrobial plastic construction to reduce germs and illness. As of March2011, prices for this cage ranged from $119.99 to $159.99 on PETCO's website. It includes a plastic base that detaches from the wire frame for easy cleaning, a wavy ramp for exercise and entertainment, a locking food tray and a shelf where your rabbit can relax. The cage measures 41.25 inches long, 18 inches wide and 31.5 inches tall.


My Deluxe Home, Giant


My Deluxe Home, Giant, is the largest cage manufactured by the Super Pet Small Animal Housing Line. It is available at PetSmart and the manufacturer claims it is a perfect cage for small pets like rabbits. This product comes with rollers that pivot for easy relocation, a safety ramp, a shelf for creature comfort and two doors, one on the top and one in the front.

Grreat Choice™ Pet Home for Rabbits


The Grreat Choice™ Pet Home for Rabbits is made exclusively for the PetSmart chain of pet stores. This cage requires no tools to assemble and it's made of all natural, chew-resistant materials that is great for rabbits. While this rabbit habitat is less expensive than others, listed for $44.99 as of March 2011, it also is smaller. It is only 36.25 inches long, 16.25 inches wide and 15.25 inches tall. Despite the smaller dimensions, this product still is a fairly large enclosure for a single rabbit.
