Rabbit Enclosure Playpen Home

 This is a rabbit playpen made of 16 wire panels. You can buy these playpens online from Pet Homes & Accessories at Moorooka QLD and they will deliver to your door anywhere in Australia. Phone Phil on 0418783555  you can get the little blue RabbitHouse by phoning 0407 652 955
Remember to have something that throws shade so your rabbit doesn't overheat. The rabbit enclosure shown in the photo has a big tree near it that throws shade in the hot afternoon sun. The wooden stand with roof also throws shade on the little blue rabbit kennel. The RabbitHouse has a mesh floor that is raised up off the ground allowing air to circulate within the kennel. Another way to create shade is to have fabric or plywood panels on parts of the playpen that throw shade at different times of the day. In this run the wooden house provides shade underneath from the midday sun.

Dealing with knots in your pet rabbit's fur

Even short haired rabbits can have problems with knots or matting of their fur especially around their private parts.

When faced with knots the first point of call is to try to gently tease out the knot with your fingers.  Just pull gently on little bits of the knot at a time and pull the knot apart without pulling on the skin.

When grooming or knot pulling give your rabbit a rest between sessions as they normally don't like being held for too long especially if you are knot pulling!

Think twice before using scissors on a knot or mat.  Because the matted knot might be tightly knotted near the skin it is risky to cut with scissors as you stand a good chance of cutting away a chunk of flesh.
