Buy rabbit run – indoor run, outdoor run and C&C panels
A rabbit run provides your rabbits with extra living space to move around, rest, sniff, and pass each other. In this category, you will find indoor runs, outdoor runs, C&C wire cube panels, individual racks, connectors, bases, solid plastic panels, and extension parts. This allows you to choose or build a run that fits your space and the way your rabbits live.
At DRD Knaagdierwinkel®, we view a rabbit run as part of a good enclosure. A run is not just “extra space,” but often the difference between a hutch and a true living environment. Combine the run with rabbit hay , a designated litter box , good grip on the floor, hiding places, tunnels, and safe enrichment.
✓ In short: a rabbit run helps give your rabbits more permanent living space than a hutch alone.
✓ For indoor use, prioritize grip, floor protection, stability, and rabbit-proof fencing.
✓ For outdoor use, choose based primarily on sturdiness, roof or cover, ground surface, shade, rain protection, and protection against escape or animals from outside.

More living space
A run gives your rabbits space to walk, rest, retreat, explore, and live together in one enclosure.
Flexible construction
With panels, C&C racks, connectors, and extensions, you can adapt the run to your space.
Inside and outside
For indoors, pay attention to the floor and grip; for outdoors, pay extra attention to the roof, ground surface, shade, and safety.
Why a rabbit run is important
Rabbits need space to move, turn around, take short sprints, lie down stretched out, pass each other, and retreat. A hutch alone is usually too limited as a complete living space. A rabbit run makes the enclosure larger and more functional.
Therefore, it is better to view a run as part of the basic setup. A hutch can serve as a night shelter, resting place, or sheltered zone, while the run provides exercise, a good overview, and freedom of choice. Escape space is especially important for a rabbit pair, because rabbits can live together but also need to be able to distance themselves.
A rabbit run helps with
✓ Create more permanent living space.
✓ Cord off inside or outside a safe zone.
✓ Divide an enclosure into hay, toilet, rest, exercise, and enrichment.
✓ Give rabbits more choice and room to move.
✓ Expand an existing space with panels, shelves, or extra parts.

Rabbit run for indoors or outdoors
An indoor and an outdoor run have the same basic function: you create a safe, enclosed living space. However, the points of attention are different. Indoors, the focus is mainly on the floor, grip, cables, baseboards, furniture, cleanliness, and cleaning. Outdoors, you pay extra attention to predators, escapes, digging, shade, rain, wind, heat, and frost.
Therefore, choose not only based on size, but also on use. A lightweight panel reel can be very practical indoors, while outdoors sturdiness, a roof or covering, and anchoring become more important.
Indoor run for rabbits
✓ Handy for rabbit room, living room, or temporary enclosure.
✓ Pay attention to grip, ground mats, and floor protection.
✓ Ensure that cables, plants, and furniture remain out of reach.
✓ Combine with toilet, hay corner, tunnels, and gnawing material.
Outdoor run for rabbits
✓ Choose sturdy, stable, and securely sealable.
✓ Watch out for escapes, digging, and animals from outside.
✓ Provide shade, dry spots, and protection from rain.
✓ Check water, hay, droppings, closures, and bedding daily.

C&C wire cube run for rabbits
C&C wire cube systems are popular because they can be assembled modularly. With separate racks, connectors, bases, and solid panels, you can create a run that fits your space. This is useful for indoor enclosures, rabbit rooms, and expandable setups.
The advantage of C&C is its flexibility: you can start with a basic setup and expand or modify it later. However, pay attention to stability, height, mounting, and the surface. Especially with larger or active rabbits, the setup must remain sturdy enough.
C&C runs handy for
✓ A custom-made indoor enclosure or rabbit room.
✓ Expand with separate racks, connectors, and panels.
✓ Create a logical shape for your space yourself.
✓ Combine with ground mats, toilets, hay racks, and shelters.
✓ Create a solid foundation that can be adjusted later.
Which size rabbit run do you choose?
It is better to choose a rabbit run that is more spacious than too cramped. For an average pair of rabbits, you can use approximately 4 to 5 m² of permanent living space as a practical starting point. Larger, more energetic, or multiple rabbits require more space.
Also keep in mind that accessories take up space. A toilet, hay rack, drinking area, house, tunnel, digging box, or foraging toys make the run functional, but there must be plenty of room to move around. The best run is therefore not only large on paper but also practical to set up.
Assessing size in practice
✓ Can your rabbits make multiple hops in a row?
✓ Can they lie stretched out without blocking the walking route?
✓ Can they pass each other safely?
✓ Can a toilet, hay, water, and shelter fit in without everything being full?
✓ Is the space permanently available, even when you are not at home?
Safety at a rabbit run
With a rabbit run, safety is about more than just “putting it around”. Rabbits can push, gnaw, jump, and dig. Outdoors, cats, birds of prey, martens, foxes, wind, and weather conditions are added to this. Therefore, check panels, latches, connections, the floor, and the cover.
An open outdoor run is particularly suitable under supervision. For a permanent outdoor setup, a roof or sturdy covering is important so that you not only prevent escapes but also keep animals from outside out of the run.
Safety check
✓ Are the panels and connections sturdy enough?
✓ Can your rabbits not jump over the run?
✓ Can they not dig or push under the run?
✓ Is an outdoor run protected against animals from outside?
✓ Are there no sharp edges, loose parts, or damaged panels?
✓ Do you check the run after a storm, moving, gnawing, or rearranging?
Substrate under the rabbit run
The surface determines a lot in daily use. Indoors, you want grip, floor protection, and easy cleaning. Outdoors, you want safety, dry spots, control against digging, and protection against heat, wetness, or mud.
On slippery floors, ground mats or other grippy materials are often useful. Outdoors, tiles can be practical for avoiding digging, but they can get hot in the sun. Grass is natural, but requires extra monitoring of wet, bare, or excavated areas.
Choosing a surface
✓ Indoors: choose grip and floor protection.
✓ Outside on grass: check for digs, wet spots, and mud.
✓ Outdoors on tiles: practical to clean, but watch out for heat in the sun.
✓ For indoor runs: use a toilet area, floor mats, and clear running routes.
✓ Always ensure dry resting places and sufficient grip.
Setting up a rabbit run
A rabbit run works best when you divide the space logically. Don't place everything in the middle of the run area, but create clear zones: a hay and toilet zone, a rest zone, a free-roaming zone, and an enrichment area. This keeps the run organized and allows your rabbits to choose where they want to be.
Hiding places are important, but with multiple rabbits, watch out for dead-end houses or narrow corners. Tunnels, houses with multiple openings, and sheltered routes along the edges make a run more pleasant without closing off the running area.
Basic setup for a rabbit run
✓ Toilet tray with suitable toilet bedding.
✓ Hay in a dry and easily accessible place.
✓ Clean drinking water, possibly at multiple locations.
✓ Shelters, small houses, or tunnels with escape routes.
✓ Chewing material, foraging toys, or a digging/sniffing area.
✓ Free walking space that is not cluttered with accessories.
Maintenance and daily check
A rabbit run remains pleasant only if you check it regularly. Look at latches, panels, the floor, the litter box, water, hay, droppings, and the fur around the hindquarters. Outdoors, pay extra attention to the weather, wind, predators, digging spots, flies, and wet areas.
Indoors, pay extra attention to the floor, gnaw marks, loose wires, shifting panels, and whether the toilet area is being used properly. Remove broken, sharp, wet, or heavily soiled parts in a timely manner.
Daily run check
✓ Are your rabbits eating well and do they have normal droppings?
✓ Is drinking water clean and accessible?
✓ Is the toilet area clean and dry enough?
✓ Are the panels, fasteners, and connections still sturdy?
✓ Are there no sharp edges, loose parts, or gnawing damage?
✓ Are the hindquarters of both rabbits clean and dry?

Frequently asked questions about rabbit runs
Which rabbit run do I need?
That depends on indoor or outdoor use, the number of rabbits, the available space, and how permanent the setup needs to be. Choose a run that provides sufficient living space and safely suits your situation.
How big should a rabbit run be?
For an average pair of rabbits, you can use approximately 4 to 5 m² of permanent living space as a practical starting point. Larger, more energetic, or multiple rabbits require more space.
Is a rabbit run better than just a hutch?
Yes, a run makes the enclosure much more usable. A hutch can serve as a night shelter or a hiding place, but the run provides room to move, escape routes, and a better layout.
Can a rabbit run be used indoors?
Yes, an indoor run is handy for a rabbit room, living room, or temporary enclosure. Pay particular attention to grip, ground mats, cables, plants, floor protection, and cleanliness.
Can a rabbit run be used outdoors?
Yes, but the run must be extra safe outdoors. Pay attention to sturdy panels, roof or covering, protection against escape, digging, predators, shade, rain, and wind.
Does a rabbit run need a roof?
For outdoors, a roof or sturdy cover is highly recommended. This not only prevents escapes but also provides better protection for your rabbits against animals from outside.
What is a C&C rabbit run?
A C&C rabbit run consists of wire cube panels that you can assemble using connectors. This system is flexible, expandable, and convenient for DIY setups in the home or rabbit room.
Which surface is suitable for a rabbit run?
Indoors, ground mats are useful for grip and floor protection. Outdoors, you can work with grass, tiles, or a solid surface, as long as you pay attention to safety, dryness, cleaning, heat, and excavation.
What do you put in a rabbit run?
Think of a litter box, litter bedding, hay, water, hiding places, tunnels, gnawing material, and foraging toys. In addition, ensure that enough free movement space remains.
