Popular rabbit homes include suspended wire rabbit cages that are kept inside a shed or building and weatherproof rabbit hutches that are raised above the ground and kept outside. The size of cage or home depends on the breed of rabbit and the owner’s individual preference. It is important to ensure that your rabbit has plenty of room and overcrowding does not exist in the hutch.

Common rabbit cage sizes are 30 inches × 30 inches, 30 inches × 36 inches, and 30 inches × 40 inches. These rabbit cage sizes can house a rabbit doe and her litter for dwarf, medium-sized, and giant rabbits, respectively.

If you are investing in housing for your rabbit(s) – remember that it must keep your rabbits dry, without drafts, and must provide an environment with temperatures of at least 40°F and not more than 90°F. Too cold is not good, but too hot can be deadly also.

Watering and feeding supplies that are available at RabbitMart range from bowls to self rabbit feeders and automatic rabbit waterers. The rabbit enthusiast with only a few rabbits can operate with simple rabbit feeders and earthenware water bowls. The commercial producer with 20 or more breeding rabbits will prefer large self-feeders and automatic drinking valves. Additionally, the new rabbit owner or breeder will need wood or metal nest boxes.

One of the most important considerations for a rabbitry is adequate ventilation. Rabbits during warm weather must have a constant flow of fresh air. The minimum ventilation rate, regardless of season, must be about eight total air changes every hour.

If you smell ammonia fumes or see moisture condensing on rabbitry walls and windows, you must increase the ventilation rate. Avoid drafts, however, regardless of ventilation method.
