Bad Rabbit Runs just damage rabbits!

Rabbits need to exercise every day to stay healthy and happy. Unfortunately, many people purchase the wrong type of rabbit from pet stores, as pet stores may not provide proper care advice. therefore, this bad advice can harm the rabbit’s health over time. There are dangers to be aware of when setting up the race. This article aims to explain why you need a playpen and cage, where to place it, and some tips for a safer setup. The goal is to create a healthy and safe place for your rabbit to relax and get that vital exercise.

Why buy a race as well as a rabbit hutch?

Rabbits have the same exercise needs as other animals: they have to run every day or they get frustrated, uncomfortable, and sometimes just plain sick. In reality, they are more like small dogs in terms of exercise needs – they need their own version of daily walks. Allowing them to run outside the hutch every day safeguards their well-being, as long as there is enough space for them to actually run; many shop races are pretty pathetic in this regard. Once you’ve decided to buy or reassess a rabbit run, you need to know what to look for.

Run Location – Top Tips

You can put your rabbit outside in good weather, but be careful not to put it on chemically treated lawns or plants that could poison your pet. Also place it away from electrical wires or anything they can chew on; if they can reach it, they will usually chew it. Indoors, the same applies, but keep in mind that some houseplants are also poisonous from the rabbits’ perspective. In both places, check that nothing sharp is under or near your rabbit run. Once the place you are going to fall to is safe, think about the race itself.

Safer operating design for safer buns

A rabbit pen should be absolutely free of sharp points: protruding wires, wood splinters, anything that could hurt your rabbit. It must be made from untreated wood to avoid poisoning by chewing. Think of the predators, who could be close enough to get in? foxes, raccoons, rats, snakes, even dogs and cats? Also keep in mind that rabbits dig burrows, so outdoors a rabbit pen should be sunk into the ground or you may find a big hole in your lawn and the rabbit is gone. Once your rabbit run is escape-proof and predator-proof, use it every day to give your rabbit both the mental stimulation and exercise it craves.

Rabbits are not creatures that can stay happily in their hutch all the time. They are social and need to interact with other rabbits, or humans if there are no rabbits around, every day to stay happy. They should also be kept away from extreme weather as they are not designed for it at all. Keeping these tips in mind can help you turn down the wrong offers and opt for one that actually meets your rabbit’s health needs.
