Leave Foxes Clueless And Discouraged With Predator Proof Rabbit Hutches And Runs
As a rabbit owner I am assured you know that a rabbit needs its exercise. There isn't much space in a rabbit habitat for movement let alone exercise. Without exercise your rabbit is not being allowed its own strength and without exercise they are likely to become less and less able to ward of diseases. These issues can be easily prevented if rabbits are allowed their exercise. Some rabbit owners choose to let their rabbits go around in the house. For the first time this may seem like a good idea and on the surface a really nice one. It is not actually a practical concept when it comes down to it as it will be difficult to keep the rabbit away from hazardous things inside your household, and your rabbit isn't likely to get on very well with your other pets, if you have any. Your most practical solution is to acquire a predator proof rabbit hutch with a run.
The run is intended for use outside, and is covered, in the sense that it has walls and a roof but does not contain a floor. The floor isn't missing, it is created this way so that the rabbit can make use of the ground as the floor, the ground makes for an excellent floor for the rabbit to play, run and usually have fun on. Rabbit hutches and runs keep the rabbits in and can also keep the predators out!
The main predator is the fox. As the owner of the rabbit it can be your own responsibility to protect your rabbit against its predators. You can do this by purchasing predator proof rabbit hutches and runs that have been specially made with heavier material and stronger mesh in order that they may keep predators out and especially stop foxes from gnawing on accessible holes and lifting the runs up to get to the rabbits.
Rabbit runs can often allow space for more than just the one rabbit. Rabbits are usually a sociable animal despite what I said earlier about their interaction with other species. Make sure to keep female and male rabbits separate to each other for the obvious reason!
Rabbit runs are often quite sizeable, and intended for outside use, they're not intended to be shelter for the rabbits in the long run, this is because, whilst they may protect against predators, runs do not protect against the elements. It's for these reasons that rabbit runs are made for leisure time. For long term housing of your rabbits you'll need to buy a hutch or cage.
Whilst it's true that cages are the smallest, the easiest option, they do have the obvious factor of having four open sides and this can cause your rabbit to feel the cold a lot of time. It's for this particular reason that cages are more suited to indoor use. Due to size, it should also be mentioned that cages are beneficial if used for just one rabbit.
For those of you reading this article, it may be most beneficial for you to buy a Hutch. A hutch features one/two open sides allowing for ventilation, thus it is ideal for outside use. Most of the perfect hutches feature an enclosed area to ensure your rabbit can retreat away when it wants to whether it is to avoid the heat, the light, or just because they want to! If your rabbit needs to be outside for whatever reason, or is a particularly large rabbit, or perhaps if you have a few rabbits then, a hutch is your best option.
