Big Rabbit Cages - Are They the best Rabbit Cage

By Tanisha Englin


Bunnies tend to be some of the most cherished your pets. Even though, they're not as cheerful and friendly as a doggy, or as playful like a kitten, they're very soft textured and fun to watch. Young children, primarily, like to have a bunnie to be a family pet simply because they find it much easier to manage a bunnie, that as opposed to other house animals, is often held in a rabbit cage.

Bunnie cages come in a couple of basic varieties: solid wood or wire. Although a wooden rabbit cage is much more eye appealing, remember that a rabbit's teeth tend to be developing all the time, and your bunnie won't be able to give up alone from gnawing on the bars and edges of their cage. Therefore, if you tend to be planning to have the bunnie cage for a long period of time, wooden cages may not be the best option for you. This cage type is also more difficult to disinfect properly.

Meanwhile, there tend to be two kinds of wire bunnie cages: one features a plastic tray on the bottom, and the other has a wire mesh tray on the bottom along with a plastic base. These features allow the bunny droppings to fall to the tray, making for easier and faster clean-up. For a rabbit cage with a wire mesh bottom, either a bedding of straw or shredded paper must be placed in the cage, or a solid floor is provided in one section therefore that your bunnie can stand. You do not want your adorable pet to develop "bumble foot," or sores on their feet.

Many new and prospective bunnie owners tend to be sometimes still undecided whether to buy their pet a large cage or just one enough for the bunnie to move around. It is recommended that the cage you choose to purchase (or make if you tend to be handy with tools) should be sufficiently big for your rabbit to lie down stretched out and high enough thus that he does not hit his head when he hops about. There tend to be numerous benefits from providing them the biggest bunny cage you can afford, hygiene being only one of them. Dogs and cats given free roaming privileges in the home can have accidents such as peeing and/or pooping, especially for those who have yet to finish their house training. Since bunnies are usually kept in a cage, they naturally pee and poop in their cage. Thus, you only have to mind one spot in your home.

Remember though that even if you provide your bunny a cage that fulfills all of its needs indoors, rabbits flourish more when they are given a chance to enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise. Safety is important, however, when you being the bunny outside---for the rabbit, your other pets (if you have any), or items that they may chew on. Since not everyone has a fenced yard, runs tend to be thus perfect for just this circumstance. A bunny run will permit your beloved pet to play in the grass yet at the same time prevent any harm from befalling them.
