Your rabbit needs at least 6.0 sq ft of floor space.

  • The minimum floor area for 1 rabbit in an indoor cage is 6.0 sq ft.
  • Aim for at least 9.0 sq ft for comfortable daily living - that is 1.5 times the welfare minimum.
  • Cage dimensions to target: 36 x 24 x 24 in (length x width x height).

Next stepEven a correctly sized cage is best paired with a daily exercise run of at least 32 sq ft (3 m2) so your rabbit can sprint, binky, and explore - behaviours essential for physical and mental health.
