Rabbit Play House
What is the best rabbit play house you can get? It’s the one that gives your precious pet the comfort you want him to have. There’s a belief circulating that bunnies can be perfectly happy in a cage, that all they need to find joy out of a life is some food, a little place to sleep and an hour or two of attention from a pet owner. Nothing could be further from the truth. Rabbits are not happy locked away in a cage where they can’t get the exercise they crave. Rabbits love and requires some type of rabbit play house to enjoy the day when you are not around.
To a rabbit, being able to run and hop around in the sunshine, being able to sniff the air and rise up on his hind legs is part of his natural lifestyle. To take that away from him causes him stress and agitation.
Rabbits don’t need exercise ‘every now and then’ or ‘when the weather permits.’ They need to be free to roam around every day for several hours a day. They need a run along with their hutch so that they can come and go at will.
What you have to know about setting up the best rabbit play house for your bunny is that while he does need to have one with a run, you have understand the best place to set the run up. It’s a misconception to believe that a run can be put over any patch of grass and everything will be fine.
There are plants that are toxic to rabbits and if you’ve treated your lawn, that can be dangerous to the bunny, too. Taking care of weed control on a lawn is good lawn care sense but the chemicals used to kill the weeds can also kill the bunny if he eats it.
Rabbits are very lovable, very inquisitive animals that will explore everything they can see and touch. It’s the job of the pet owner to provide an area where the rabbit can freely sniff around and enjoy being outdoors.
The number one danger for a rabbit being outside in a run is a possible encounter with a predator. So you’ll want a run that’s sturdy enough to keep the dangers away from your pet. Never underestimate the craftiness of a predator. That’s one reason a hutch door with an easy to swing open latch is a bad idea. If you can open it with a twist of your fingers, so can a cat by swiping it with a paw.
Always know what’s going on in the run. When left alone outside for too long, rabbits will begin to dig in the soil and they’ll create holes in the yard. This is done because the rabbit instinctively tries to burrow. The best rabbit play house is the one that gives your bunny protection and freedom at the same time. You can get both in a hutch that has a run as well.
