Bunny Rabbit Hutches & Guinea Pig Cages For SaleHutch or Cage For Your Bunny Rabbit or Guinea Pig
It is important that they have plenty of space, and that their space is safe and comfortable for them.
Ideally, you will provide 10.5 square feet for two Rabbits or Guinea Pigs, and approximately 7.5 feet for one Rabbit or Guinea Pig. You should absolutely avoid the use of wire flooring in your Rabbit Hutch or Guinea Pigs pen.
Note that Bunny Rabbits & Guinea Pigs will chew wood, and while they may gnaw on plastic, they cannot destroy hard plastic very easily.
Really think about the materials that you will use for your Rabbit or Guinea Pigs pen, and look on the Internet to see the materials and designs that other Rabbit or Guinea Pig owners have used.
It is very important that you not use wood for the floor of your pen. Odours, including odors from urine and feces, will soak into the wood, and it won’t take long before you have a smell in your house that you cannot get rid of. Plastic is preferable, because it can be washed, and the odor won’t seep into it. Once your pen is ready, it will need bedding. You must avoid bedding that is made of cedar and/or pine shavings, as these can be harmful for your Rabbit or Guinea Pig.
Instead, choose Aspen shavings, newspaper bedding, or pellet bedding. Top this with fresh hay, and be prepared to change the hay at least twice a week, and change the bedding weekly. Bedding can be spread over the entire surface of the pen.
Next, you need toys and other accessories. The important thing here is not to place items against the sides of the pen, as this will prevent the Rabbit or Guinea Pig from running around the interior. He needs to do this for exercise, and he will do it often – unless his pen is too crowded for running.
The first thing to add to your Bunny Rabbit or Guinea Pigs Hutch is a hiding place. Rabbit or Guinea Pigs love to hide, and hiding places can easily be constructed from numerous materials.
The best hiding place is a plastic tub, turned upside down, with a little door cut out. Avoid using cardboard, as it will have to be replaced often.
Your Bunny Rabbit or Guinea Pig wants more complex hiding places as well, such as tunnels. You can purchase different tunnel systems at any pet store, or make your own using PVC pipe and PVC joints. Make sure that there is plenty of airflow.
Finish your Rabbit or Guinea Pigs home with a ceramic water bowl, a pet bed, a water bottle, a hay hopper, and plenty of toys that he can safely gnaw on.
