Types Of Cages And Supplies Needed For Rabbits

Rabbits can live in almost any type of cage.  As long as they are kept dry and out of drafts they shouldn't have any problems inside or out.
They make an excellent choice for pets as they are small and housing is relatively inexpensive.  Cage size will be based on breed size.  A Netherland Dwarf wouldn't need the same size cage as a Flemish Giant. 

Wire cages kept outside

Wire cages are one of the most suited for raising rabbits.  The wire keeps them safe from predators and makes for easy cleanup if the rabbit is housed outside.  The flooring is typically made of ½ by 1" wire that lets the droppings fall through the floor to the ground below.

Wire Cages kept indoors

Wire cages should be used for indoor rabbits too.  They need a place to call home when they are tired of dealing with people.  I realize your rabbit never gets tired of you but just like us they need to be able to get away after a tough day.  Just make sure your indoor cage has a tray bottom.

Wooden Hutch

Wooden hutches are a type of cage that usually is made out of wood and is kept outdoors. It is sturdy and weather proof.  Most have built in nest boxes for when your rabbit may need to give birth to her litter.  Wooden Hutches, since they are outside, don't need trays if they are not stackable since the area underneath of the cage will act like a compost pile.  Black gold is what some call rabbit droppings.  I know I still call it that, when I'm moving it from barn to garden.

Stackable Cages

Stackable Cages are indeed a space saver.  There will be trays between the upper level and lower level of cages to catch droppings and urine.  Most stackable cages need to have urine guards to keep the rabbit from urinating outside the cage.
Rabbit bottles and crocks

I have raised rabbits both with bottles and crocks.  I have found over the years that I prefer bottles.  Crocks are fine but it seems they have a tendency to get hay or food or feet or something in the water.  Keeping them clean can be a never ending task.  That's why I prefer the bottle now.  The water stays cleaner and even though it's still needs changed everyday it doesn't have a lot of the things in the water you can get with an open crock.

Automatic watering

This is the ultimate in design for raising a rabbit.  If you are only raising one rabbit at a time automatic is probably not worth the money spent.  If you are raising a small herd then that is entirely a different thing altogether.  We had enough rabbits at one time that we felt that automatic waters were well worth the investment. The best part of having automatic water is that they never run out like a bottle or a crock.

In conclusion, rabbits are healthy animals that when kept in a secure cage and have a clean supply of water are very healthy and prolific.  You will have to keep them separated from each other or in 30 days you will need additional housing for the new ones.  They also make great indoor pets.  Whether you house them inside or out rabbits are wonderful animals that have their own personalities.
