Preparing your rabbit cage

The intended location of your pet rabbit should be considered before preparing the cage. If you choose to keep your rabbit in a hutch outside you should consider where to put it. It should have a waterproof roof, and should be kept out of direct wind rain or sunlight. Indoors, the cage should again be kept out of direct sunlight in a room of constant temperature and away from draughts, consider where to put the rabbit in order to keep it away from heaters etc as well as any other unfriendly pets.

When preparing the cage you should place on the floor of the cage a good layer of wood shavings. Be sure to put plenty of hay in the cage, or in the chamber, enclosed part of the hutch. Place a filled water bottle fixed to the cage a comfortable, reachable height for the rabbit. Check that the water bottle is working efficiently. Pet shops also sell vitamins that can be added to the water that can be particularly beneficial if your rabbit is ill. Fill the food dish with rabbit food and place in the cage. Be sure to place any cage accessories in suitable positions within the cage.
