Does anyone use this for rabbits? What are the pros and cons of this house for rabbits?

This would work for rabbits but would be very easy for them to dig out of. You would also need to add a board to the front side of the coop as it does not sit flush with the ground.

I have one for Chickens, but I love it, you can move it easily, access to pets is easy. I am getting angora Rabbits and they will go in it, and so I am building a another chicken coop, I would highly recommend.

I use it for two rabbits. I had to turn the run upside down and make a roof out of plywood. I did the to stop the rabbits from burrowing out.

I used it for chickens and it was a nice housing unit the one issue I did have was with the nesting box. The floor of it can be easily pushed up by predators that get under it. You would have to reinforce this area.

I use this litter for my rabbits. When I have gone away I don't make whoever is watching them for a weekend clean them. Sometimes the litter is really wet,but I have never had trouble with them tracking it. It is paper pellets like the size for a wood pellet stove. The only mess I get is when they decide to empty the pan so they can roam free while their bedroom gets a good cleaning

Our rabbit has done the same thing. Rabbits love to chew on anything available. I googled it and I found you should keep the bunny busy with toys and other things to keep its mind off of chewing its house!

I would not recommend using the tray at all. Rabbits should be litterbox trained. House Rabbit Society has information on this.

I think it will get rid of anything as long as it is set up the rite way...there are different settings & a motion detect mode....you have to mess with them alittle....I haven't had no rabbits for a while now ....and it does move the stray kits around....

I don't have a problem, I use it for Angora rabbits. Did you try putting a towel underneath it? maybe your table is slippery.

I would say that it is not suitable for a rabbit. I bought one for my pet rats to use when I carry them with me out of town. I would get a larger care that does not have all the levels for a rabbit.

Yes, we use it all winter for rabbits outside who are cozy even during these polar vortexes. We put the heater on the bottom and then stuff their room with hay. They make a warm home. And iI fits perfectly into standard hutches.

No, but it was very easy to put together. The house is great for rabbits and our rabbit loves it. However, I do recommend adding some chicken wire to the bottom, or else the rabbit can dig out. Great product, though.

The latches aren't very sturdy, so I would suggest you put your own additional latch to make sure your rabbits can't get out. Or better yet, I'd suggest buying a different hutch! I ended up returning mine because it was just plain cheap

I think that's going to have to be a trial and error for rabbit use. In my personal opinion, I wouldn't use them for my rabbits. They're probably going to get chewed on and should most likely be mounted downward, forcing you to make adjustments for kits or smaller rabbits.

Hello Amazon Friend, No. I have not painted it. That is a superb idea, though. My hutch is still holding on real well and it has been in the direct weather since I purchased it about 1 1/2 to two years ago. The only thing that broke was the 'angle latter' that gets the little critters to the upper level. I had to invent one myself. Funny thing, my critters are not little...they are Flemish Giant rabbits! So, the hutch is very capable of holding 'heavy' weight for a long period of time. My Flemish Giant rabbits weigh (full body weight) 8 to 10 pounds! I use this hutch as my 'Holding' cage prior to processing the rabbits for meat. The cage is only empty about 1 to 2 days a week. Other than that it holds up to 30 pounds (3 rabbits) very securely. I like the idea of painting the OUTSIDE ONLY for better protection of the weather. I'll try that !

The hutch is VERY light weight and low to the ground. At first, we had it outside on a platform, but at the first sign of s storm we pulled it inside our feed barn to be sure it didn't blow over. Also, word of caution, our rabbits eventually ate through this whole hutch - along edges dislodging the mesh, through the interior wall between the nesting box area and the open area, and actually through the side of the hutch! I love the design with the cleanout tray, etc.; however, it just didn't hold up to active bunnies. ;-( (And I bought 3 of them!)

I got the product to keep feral cats off my porch. It does work for that if I spray every day. Not sure about rabbits but it's worth a try.

yes! you can house 1 regular rabbit or 2-3 dwarf rabbits! i had my rabbits kits in it and they loved it!

It's big enough for one standard size rabbit, or two small rabbits. If you had one of the tiny breeds, you could maybe squeeze three in there, but they might feel crowded and fight. I have two bantam chickens in mine. It's been in constant use for a year. We set it up on concrete blocks and left one end open to a chicken wire run so they'd have more room. Handled winter weather just fine. We did block the little window on the side during the winter with a piece of cardboard to prevent drafts.

Have not used it for rabbits but I believe it would work very well. The pellets are hard, ceramic like, so they will hold up well to the more acidic urine from the bunnies. I think it would be a good, sanitary choice.
