One thing that rabbits do need 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.

Make your rabbits home as large as you can manage. It should have an open area with glass or wire netting on at least one side so that you can see your pet and it can interact with you. The hutch will also need an enclosed area large enough for sleeping. 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 made from waterproofed timber constuction. It should have sufficient space to allow your pet to move around and also with openings to make cleaning your rabbit hutch easy. Apart from straw or hay for the floor, your rabbit will also need water and, of course food. You will find a number of container systems for water and food, either attached to the wire netting, or in bowls which may be fixed to prevent tipping.

Keeping a rabbit is a fun introduction to children in keeping a pet. 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.
