A rabbit hutch is not a home by itself. Rabbits need space to run, stretch, dig, hide and interact with a companion. Whether indoors or outdoors, the setup should support movement and safety every day.
Outdoor housing
Outdoor rabbits need a predator-proof enclosure, dry shelter, shade, protection from wind and enough space connected day and night. Heat is a major risk in summer, while damp and draughts are problems in winter.
Indoor housing
Indoor rabbits need rabbit-proofed rooms or a large pen, safe flooring, litter trays, hay stations and protection from cables and toxic plants. They still need exercise and a companion, not only a cage in the corner.
Companionship
Rabbits are social animals. A neutered male and neutered female is often a stable combination, introduced carefully. Read bonding rabbits before placing two rabbits together.
