Rabbit Hutches

Rabbit Hutches – A Happy Home Starts Here

Rabbits are curious, active, and full of personality. They need more than just a cage – they need a real home. A good rabbit hutch gives them a safe place to eat, sleep, and hide, while a bunny hutch with a run lets them stretch their legs, binky, and explore. At Aosom, we carry over 114 rabbit hutches from PawHut, ranging from cozy indoor bunny houses to spacious outdoor enclosures. Whether you're looking for a wooden hutch with an asphalt roof, a weatherproof bunny cage for the garden, or a colorful indoor rabbit cage in pink or blue, you‘ll find it here. Many models include ramps, slide-out trays for easy cleaning, lockable wheels, and attached runs. Let’s find the perfect match for your fluffy friend.

Indoor or Outdoor? Where Will Your Bunny Live?

The first big decision is location. Indoor and outdoor rabbit hutches serve different needs, and both have their pros and cons.

Indoor rabbit hutches: Your bunny stays safe from predators, extreme weather, and parasites. You‘ll also spend more time with them, which strengthens your bond. Look for models with a solid floor, good ventilation, and a removable tray. The PawHut Indoor Rabbit Enclosure with Wheels in Blue is a great choice – it rolls easily for cleaning and has a cozy hideaway area.
Outdoor rabbit hutches: Fresh air and natural light are wonderful, but you‘ll need weatherproofing. A wooden hutch with an asphalt roof, like the PawHut Elevated Wooden Rabbit Hutch in Gray, protects against rain and sun. Always place outdoor hutches in a shaded, sheltered spot and bring your rabbit inside during extreme cold or heat.
Bunny hutches with runs: The best of both worlds. A hutch attached to a wire run gives your rabbit a secure sleeping area plus a place to hop and play. The PawHut Wooden Rabbit Hutch with Run is a compact option that fits nicely on a patio or in a small garden.

For a truly spacious setup, consider a large rabbit hutch or a rabbit playpen that attaches to your existing cage.

Size Matters – Giving Your Rabbit Room to Roam

Rabbits need space to hop, stretch, stand on their hind legs, and do three full hops in a row. Here‘s a quick size guide:

Small breeds (Netherland Dwarf, Holland Lop): Minimum 24” x 36” of floor space. A 2-level hutch like the PawHut 55" 2-Tier Wooden Rabbit Hutch gives them vertical space to explore without needing a huge footprint.
Medium breeds (Rex, English Spot): Aim for 30” x 48” or larger. Look for a large rabbit hutch with an attached run so they can exercise. The PawHut 58" Wooden Rabbit Hutch with Run Area is a great mid-size option.
Large breeds (Flemish Giant, Checkered Giant): You‘ll need a mansion. Look for hutches over 60” wide with multiple levels and a large run. The PawHut 83" Deluxe XL Wooden Rabbit Hutch has room for two large bunnies and includes a generous run area.
For multiple rabbits: Double the space. A double hutch or stackable rabbit cage gives each bunny their own territory while still allowing interaction. The PawHut Wooden Rabbit Hutch with Dividers lets you separate rabbits when needed.

Remember: a run attached to the hutch is not just a luxury – it‘s essential for your rabbit‘s physical and mental health.

What to Look for in a Quality Rabbit Hutch

Not all rabbit cages are built the same. Here are the features that make a hutch truly bunny-friendly:

Solid flooring: Wire floors hurt rabbit feet. Look for wooden or plastic floors, or add a resting mat. All PawHut hutches have solid floors in the sleeping area.
Slide-out tray: Cleaning a rabbit hutch is much easier when the tray pulls out from the front or back. The PawHut Elevated Rabbit Hutch has a removable tray that saves you from scrubbing corners.
Ramps with traction: Wooden ramps can be slippery. Look for ramps with slats or attached carpet. Older rabbits appreciate a gentle slope.
Secure latches: Rabbits are clever escape artists. PawHut uses lockable latches that raccoons and other predators can‘t open, either.
Weatherproofing (for outdoor use): An asphalt or pitched roof sheds rain. Treated wood resists rot. The PawHut Waterproof Gray Rabbit Hutch is specifically designed for year-round outdoor living.
Wheels (for indoor use): Lockable casters let you move the hutch to follow the sun or for cleaning. The PawHut 64" Rabbit Hutch with Wheels rolls smoothly on hard floors.

For extra enrichment, add rabbit toys, a litter box, and a hay feeder inside the hutch.

Setting Up Your Rabbit‘s New Home – A Quick Start Guide

Bringing home a new hutch? Here‘s how to make it welcoming on day one:

Location, location, location: Indoors, place the hutch in a quiet corner away from direct sunlight, drafts, and loud noises. Outdoors, choose a shaded spot with good drainage and protection from wind.
Layer the bedding: Start with newspaper or puppy pads on the tray, then add a thick layer of paper-based bedding or aspen shavings. Avoid cedar or pine – they can cause respiratory issues.
Set up a litter corner: Rabbits naturally pick a spot to pee. Place a small litter box filled with paper pellets in one corner of the hutch. Add a handful of hay to encourage use.
Hidey house: Every rabbit needs a place to retreat. Most PawHut hutches include a covered sleeping area. If yours doesn‘t, add a cardboard box with two exits.
Water and hay stations: Attach a heavy ceramic bowl or a sipper bottle. Hay should always be available – stuff it into a rack or a clean cardboard tube.
Introduce slowly: Let your rabbit explore the new hutch on their own terms. Place familiar bedding and toys inside to reduce stress.

For outdoor rabbits, consider adding a bunny cage cover for extra insulation in winter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rabbit Hutches

❓ How often should I clean my rabbit‘s hutch?

Spot-clean daily – remove uneaten food, wet bedding, and droppings. Deep-clean weekly: slide out the tray, wash it with mild soap and hot water, and replace all bedding. If your hutch has a wire run, hose it down monthly. A clean hutch prevents flystrike (a dangerous condition where flies lay eggs on soiled fur) and keeps your rabbit healthy.

❓ Can two rabbits share the same hutch?

Yes, but only if they are bonded (spayed/neutered pairs) and the hutch is large enough. For two medium rabbits, you‘ll need at least 60” x 24” of floor space plus a run. The PawHut 90.5" Double Run Hutch is designed for multiple rabbits. Always provide two of everything – food bowls, water bottles, and hidey houses – to prevent fighting. Never house unneutered rabbits together.

❓ Are wooden rabbit hutches safe for chewing rabbits?

Most PawHut wooden hutches are made from fir or pine – untreated and safe for occasional nibbling. However, no wooden hutch is chew-proof. If your rabbit is an aggressive chewer, provide plenty of alternatives: apple sticks, willow balls, cardboard tubes, and untreated wooden blocks. You can also line chew-prone edges with metal corner guards. For persistent chewers, a metal cage with a plastic tray may be a better long-term solution.
