Placing the Rabbit Cage

It is essential to ensure that your rabbit is comfortable when it is inside it’s cage. The rabbit cage should be place in a cool and cozy place in your house, away from any household hazards. It should also be place in a area which is away from any rapacious house pets or noisy machinery.

At smallest, your rabbit cage should be equipped with the following:

a litterbox

containers for food and water

soft bedding

toys to keep the rabbit amused and occupied

Beddings

There are many uncommon beddings which can be used for the rabbit. The most common are hay, straw, grass or sisal mats. Shredded newspaper and fabric scraps are now and again used as alternative bedding for rabbits.

Litter and the Litterbox

Litters can be made from several materials. Paper pulp is a well loved choice of litter, as it has excellent absorbency and reduces odor. The following, highly recommended litter is compressed sawdust pellets. Sawdust pellets are relatively cheap and extremely absorbant. The non-toxic sawdust helps control bacterial growth and odors.

Pine or cedar shavings should be avoided, as these materials can be toxic to the rabbit.

The litterbox should be placed in the rabbit’s favorite elimiation spot in the cage to facilitate litter training.

White vinegar is the recommended agent for cleaning out litterboxes. Soaking the pans in vinegar will take out even the toughest stains.
