Rabbit Housing
Making A Happy Hoppy Home
Creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for your rabbit is essential for their well-being. At Reno Rabbit Rescue, we believe that a well-cared-for rabbit is a happy rabbit, and proper housing plays a critical role in their health and happiness.
Safe & Secure Space
Ensure that your rabbit’s living space is free from hazards like electrical cords, toxic plants, and small objects that could be ingested. Regularly check the area for anything that could pose a danger to your rabbit’s curious nature.
X Pens
An X-pen is a portable, customizable play yard that gives rabbits a safe, roomy space to hang out. It’s made of lightweight panels you can shape into a square or circle, and it’s easy to move, clean, and store. It’s the go-to setup for giving bunnies plenty of space while keeping them safely contained.
Indoor Living
Rabbits thrive indoors where they can be part of the family. A spacious, rabbit-proofed room or a large exercise pen with plenty of room to hop, stretch, and explore is ideal. Make sure to provide a cozy hideaway where your rabbit can retreat for rest and relaxation.
Enrichment & Exercise
Rabbits are active and intelligent animals that need both mental and physical stimulation. Provide toys, tunnels, and chewable items to keep them entertained. Regular exercise time outside their enclosure is also important for their physical health and mental well-being.
Climate Control
Keep their living area cool in the summer and warm in the winter, avoiding drafts and direct sunlight to ensure they remain comfortable year-round. Rabbits are sensitive to extreme temperatures.
Proper Flooring
Solid, easy-to-clean surfaces, covered with soft, non-slip mats or rugs are ideal to give them comfort and traction. Avoid wire flooring, as it can be uncomfortable and harmful to a rabbit’s delicate feet.
