Rabbits need at least one companion and an optimally equipped house in order to feel completely at home. This includes not only play and retreat possibilities, but above all the right basic equipment. If the temperatures rise above freezing in spring, even at night, the animals can move into the outdoor enclosure without any problems. But it is important to provide the animals with the best possible rabbit accessories in the outdoor area too.

Water troughs, food bowls, hayracks and bedding are part of the basic equipment for keeping rabbits. Water troughs should always be filled with fresh water and afford the animals unrestricted access. Feeding bowls are easily knocked over if they are too light. For this reason, larger and sturdy ceramic bowls are recommended. In addition, the bowl should be placed in a corner of the cage where the rabbits do not play and romp about so much, otherwise it will quickly fill up with any bedding strewn about. Hayracks are also a popular accessory for rabbits. They ensure that the animals’ favourite food stays in place. These hayracks can be assembled in just a few steps. Bedding, on the other hand, not only provides the animals with a warm base, but also reliably absorbs urine and other liquids. Claw clippers and other utensils for grooming are also part of the basic equipment that no rabbit owner should be without.

To prevent boredom in the rabbit cage, the animals need variety. Climbing houses, tunnels, caves, ramps and seesaws will do the trick. A cosy sleeping place also serves as a safe retreat, because even the most sociable animals need some time to themselves now and then.

Rabbits that are kept exclusively indoors tend to suffer in health. This is because these animals need fresh air, like to let off steam outside and enjoy the warm rays of the sun. All this is made possible by special outdoor enclosures with a variety of activities. It is important that they are adequately secured at all times so that cats or birds of prey do not pose a danger to the animals.

If kept in a way that is appropriate to their species, these cute small animals can live up to ten years or more. Make sure that your animals get everything they need for their well-being.
