The Rabbit Run

rabbit run

Rabbits need an exercise area in addition to a hutch or similar sleeping quarters. A run allows them to stretch their legs and also provides room for more toys to play with.

The minimum recommended rabbit run size is 5' x 4', this is a minimum though and your rabbit will certainly appreciate being provided a larger area.

Rabbit Run Walls

Weld mesh, attached firmly to the frame, provides the safest enclosure. The mesh should be small enough to prevent your rabbit putting it's head through and preditors putting their paws through.

The rabbit run should be tall enough for your rabbit to stand upright on it's back legs, see size guide.

Rabbit Run Floor

Rabbit are expert diggers, so rabbit runs should have something to prevent rabbits digging out, either mesh or paving slabs on the floor or mesh buried under the run.

I'm Tamsin, and I like rabbits, such as Scamp at the top there. He's a wild rabbit I hand reared. As well as writing about rabbit housing, I run a site that promote UK rabbit rescues (which incidentally is how I ended up with Scamp).
