One main requirement for keeping your rabbit are good outdoor rabbit hutches. For your rabbit to live in comfort outside in a situation close to that in nature, it will need a secure, and warm place to sleep and get out of the weather, and also a large area, or run, in which to exercise.

A rubbit hutch should be as large as you can make it. The hutch should include an open area where you can see and interact with your pet. This can be via glass or wire netting on one side. It should also have an area which is enclosed on all sides so that it can sleep in privacy. It is important to all animals that they are able to have privacy when wished and rabbits are no different.

Rabbit hutches and runs are to be found in most pet stores both online and offline.
You must ensure that the run is secure from digging, both by your rabbit, and from predators. It is up to you to make sure that your pet is kept contained, and not allowed to roam into neighbouring properties.

Traditionally, a large rabbit cage is usually made of wood with water-proofing on the roof. It should have sufficient space to allow your pet to move around and don’t forget that you will need access for cleaning. Apart from straw or hay for the floor, your rabbit will also need water and, of course food. You can provide the water by fixing a water bottle to the side of the rabbit hutch much the way you would for a hamster or mice. Food is provided in bowls.

Rabbits are a really good first introduction to keeping pets. They make very good pets since they are generally happy to be held and stroked and are very loving animals. They really only need a good wheatherproof hutch, a good sized run, food and water, and loving care and attention.
