Rabbit Hutches & Supplies

More than almost any shop-bought hutch provides on its own. A rabbit should be able to take three consecutive hops without meeting a wall, and sit fully upright on its back legs with its ears clear of the roof — which rules out a surprising number of hutches sold as suitable for two rabbits.

That is why every hutch on this page carries an honest note about what it is really for. Some are proper homes. Several are excellent weatherproof shelters that need a run attached to them, and we would rather tell you which is which before you order than after.

Outdoors needs weatherproofing that survives a British winter: a tilted roof so water runs off rather than sitting on the timber, a water-resistant finish, and a latch a fox cannot nose open. Raised legs matter too — cold and damp travel up through a floor sitting flat on grass.

Indoors, the priorities reverse. Weather stops mattering and floor area, easy cleaning and something the rabbit can chew safely become the whole decision. Open pens usually beat cages inside, because you can reach in from any side rather than through one small door.
