Everything You Need to Know About Raising Your Bunnies Outdoors

If you’re considering raising rabbits outdoors, there are a few important things to know. With the right setup, your bunnies can enjoy fresh air and a safe, enriching environment.

A Secure and Comfortable Hutch
The most important part of outdoor living is a well-designed hutch. It should protect your bunny from weather, predators, and escape attempts. A farmhouse-style hutch with sturdy construction and proper insulation is a great option.

Weather-Proofing
Rabbits are sensitive to temperature extremes. In the summer, provide shade and cooling options like ceramic tiles or frozen water bottles. In colder months, insulate their hutch and use a weatherproof cover to keep them cozy.



Safety First

Predators are a real concern for outdoor rabbits. Make sure their enclosure is predator-proof, with no gaps or weak points. An outdoor run or secure playpen adds an extra layer of safety while giving them room to roam.



Supervised Playtime

Even with the best setup, outdoor rabbits thrive with regular human interaction. Spend time with your bunny daily to build trust and monitor their health.
