Rabbit cage or rabbit hutch for indoor and outdoor rabbits
Buying a rabbit cage? The best cages and enclosures for your rabbit!
Give your rabbit the space it deserves with our safe and spacious rabbit cages! From outdoor hutches with runs to modular indoor C&C cages.
A rabbit cage is never just a hutch – it's a home
A good rabbit cage is more than just a hutch. It's a place where your rabbit feels safe, can hide, relax, and—just as importantly—has enough space to move around, jump, and display natural behavior. Did you know that rabbits are naturally active, social animals who love to run, dig, rest, and cuddle with a companion?
In this category, you'll find a carefully selected selection of rabbit cages for both indoor and outdoor use , always prioritizing your rabbit's well-being. Whether you choose a spacious outdoor hutch with a run or an expandable C&C cage for indoors, we'll help you create a truly rabbit-friendly environment.
Outdoor rabbit hutches: always with a run!
The outdoor hutches in this category are designed as shelters , meaning they offer protection from rain, wind, and cold. But be careful: an outdoor hutch should never be the only habitat! Rabbits need much more space than an average hutch offers. Therefore, we always recommend combining the hutch with a spacious run of at least 4 m² (for small rabbits) and up to 10 m² for larger breeds.
✔ Place the hutch on legs to protect against rising cold
✔ Provide sufficient shelter from wind, sun and rain
✔ Use a covered run and a safe surface (grass, tiles, sand or a bucket)
✔ Keep predators out with a secure, enclosed run
C&C cages and indoor enclosures: modular and animal-friendly
For rabbits living indoors, C&C cages are the perfect solution. These modular systems are easily expandable in both width and height, allowing you to create a customized enclosure that meets your rabbit's natural needs.
Increasingly, rabbits are given their own room or a fenced-off area in the living room. An indoor run—with or without C&C panels—offers flexibility and plenty of room to move around. Make sure:
✔ Sufficient floor space (at least 5-10 m² depending on the size of the rabbit)
✔ Ground cover that is safe and absorbent (e.g. hemp fiber or corn cob pellets)
✔ Hiding places, rabbit houses , tunnels , platforms, bridges and ladders for enrichment
✔ Litter boxes – because rabbits are toilet-trained!
Rabbits are toilet trained: think of litter boxes and ground covering
Because rabbits are naturally potty-trained, it's wise to provide their enclosure with a litter box and suitable litter . Consider hemp fiber, straw pellets, or wood pellets – but never use clumping litter.
In the rest of the cage you can choose from:
- Loose bedding , such as hemp, cotton or shredded paper
- Washable pee mats , ideal for smooth floors
- Fat beds , bath mats or hemp mats for extra comfort

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Rabbit Cages
What is the minimum size for a rabbit cage?
A hutch should never be the only dwelling. For two rabbits, the minimum total living space is 5 m² (dwarf rabbits) to 10 m² (large breeds), with a run or outdoor space.
Can I keep my rabbit in a standard wire cage?
No. Standard wire cages are by definition too small. They can potentially serve as a hiding place within a larger run or rabbit room, but are not a full-fledged enclosure.
How high should a cage be?
High enough for the rabbit to stand on its hind legs. For indoor enclosures, we recommend C&C cages, which also allow for height adjustment.
Can rabbits learn to be potty trained?
Yes! Rabbits are litter-trained and like to use a designated spot as a toilet. A litter box with suitable litter and hay nearby helps.
What is the difference between a hutch and a cage for rabbits?
A hutch is usually for outdoor use, often with a nighttime area. A cage (or C&C cage) is for indoor use. Both should always be combined with a spacious run.
