Decorating & Rabbit-Proofing a Rabbit Room – Everything for Indoor Rabbits

Decorating a rabbit room: safe, practical and fun for indoor rabbits

A rabbit room (or a rabbit-proof corner in the living room) is ideal if you want to give your rabbits more freedom. Rabbits are curious, active, and sociable: they want to run, explore, dig, and above all… chew. With the right furnishings, you can create a space where your rabbits can safely roam freely in the house , while you maintain a sense of order and tranquility.

Why a rabbit room?

A separate room or fenced-off area gives your rabbits more freedom of movement and structure. It makes it easier to rabbit-proof the environment, and you can conveniently offer enrichment and care in fixed locations.

• More exercise and natural activity (running, binkies, exploring)
• More peace and quiet : fixed zones for toilet, hay, shelter and play
• Less damage in the home through smart rabbit-proof choices
• More interaction : you can spend time together more easily

Making your rabbit-proof: these are the most important points

"Rabbit-proofing" primarily means eliminating gnawing and digging risks and providing your rabbits with safe alternatives. Consider:

• Keep cables and power strips out of reach (hide, shield or protect)
• Protect skirting boards, furniture and corners from gnawing (or cutting off)
• Remove poisonous plants from the room
• Protect the floor against digging, sliding and accidents
• Fixed toilet area with floor covering and possibly underlays

Tip: Start with one room or a clear area. If that works well, you can expand later.

The ideal layout of a rabbit room

In a good rabbit room, you work with fixed "stations." This makes it predictable for your rabbits and practical for you:

• Shelter and rest zone with houses and safe hiding places
• Eating area with hay rack and feeding area
• Toilet area (many rabbits automatically choose this)
• Play and discovery zone with tunnels, bridges and enrichment

Helpful tip: make enrichment more important than your furniture

Rabbits don't gnaw and dig to be annoying, but because it's natural behavior. Providing sufficient gnawing material , tunnels, and distractions reduces the chance that cables, baseboards, or furniture will remain interesting. Combine this with smart screening and you have the best balance between freedom and security.
