Rabbits make wonderful pets for a wide range of reasons. They can be housebroken, they do not eat much, love children, and they can be a great companion for adults as well. Keeping rabbits can be a lengthy topic, but the first decision that is usually made about keeping rabbits is, if you keep them in an indoor or outdoor rabbit hutch.
It is quite true that our little furry friends can be successfully held indoors or outdoors. However, there are different considerations for each. A rabbit is usually kept in a stall in a barn and can easily be kept outside than inside.
If you are looking want to buy your first rabbit, you should before you buy some decisions about his case somewhat. You should be aware, for example, that most rabbit hutches are sold in pet stores or over the Internet too small. It should be able to take at least three consecutive jumps and to be able to stand in a stable. Therefore, at least 6-7 feet long and 18 cm high. Many commercial stables are much smaller than this, and it is very sad to see rabbits cooped up in tiny cages.
If you have a rabbit outdoors, you have to give him a cage, which it total protection from predators. Predators such as dogs and foxes are very clever and any weaknesses to exploit in a cage to get to your little furry friend. And protection from predators, it has a weatherproof sleeping area and an exercise area which is covered in so he can play during the day.
If it is a very small stable important to have a dedicated rabbit near or around the barn, so he is allowed to play in a much larger space during the day, which is also protected.
Indoors stables have different considerations. It is not necessary to protect it from predators, as there are no predators will be in there (hopefully), so it is not necessary to have a roof over their cage. But even a rabbit appreciates a private area where he can go from time to time to retire to sleep.
It is best to avoid that in the vicinity of his cage open windows or glass surfaces that are extremely hot or cold at certain times of the season. And you should also avoid using it can cause his body somewhere near gas appliances toxic fumes.
Some people dedicate an entire room of the house to their furry friend. This is fine, provided you have a thorough check for possible hazards in the area, including drilling, in which he can disappear.
There is no doubt Rabbits make wonderful pets, but like all animals that you make some decisions before you have to buy it. One of the most important decisions is how and where to accommodate him....
