🐰 Rabbit Cage Size Calculator
Use this tool to estimate enclosure dimensions that keep rabbits healthy, active, and comfortable.
How to Use This Calculator
Measure your rabbits
Use average adult weight. For bonded pairs, use combined weight for accuracy.
Calculate minimum space
Input weights and rabbit count to see baseline floor area.
Enhance enrichment
Supplement with free-roam time, tunnels, platforms, and chew toys.
Formula
Floor Area (sq ft) = max(Weightkg × 1.5 × Rabbits, 8)
This follows House Rabbit Society recommendations. Increase space for larger breeds, senior rabbits, or limited exercise opportunities.
Full Description
Adequate floor space prevents obesity, sore hocks, and behavioral problems. Provide hiding spots, hay racks, and dig boxes within the enclosure.
Consider attaching an exercise pen for daily roaming and bunny-proof indoor areas to encourage natural behaviors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can two rabbits share one enclosure?
Yes, bonded pairs thrive together. Ensure sufficient space and multiple hides to prevent conflict.
How often should rabbits free roam?
At least 3–4 hours daily. More is better for mental and physical health.
Is vertical space useful?
Low platforms (under 18") provide enrichment. Avoid tall jumps that strain joints.
Do outdoor hutches follow the same rules?
Yes. Outdoor rabbits require predator-proof housing with ample space and weather protection.
