INDOOR RABBIT PLAYPEN

Do you like our indoor bunny display play pen?

We keep them inside for 3 reasons:

1. Inside they are safe from mozzies

2. Inside they are safe from predators 

3. Inside they can interact with people and show how wonderful their personalities are and be real pets. Not a lonely scared forgotten animal in a cage at the bottom of the garden.

HOUSING YOUR PET RABBIT - INDOOR RABBIT PLAYPENS

We recommend an indoor rabbit playpen as the home for your bunnies. 

An indoor bunny playpen keeps them safe from predators, mozzies and fleas.

A rabbit playpen in the family area of your home ensures interaction with your pet rabbits. Our research shows that bunnies kept as house rabbits are less likely to be abandoned due to 'loss of interest' whereas bunnies kept in outdoor hutches often become just a chore to do and there is little interaction so owners tire of them quickly and never get to know their true personalities and adorable ways.

Rabbit Rescue Tub Cage for Pregnant Nursing Mother Bunnies

  Once the babies are about 4 weeks old they and the mother will need to be transfered to a playpen for more exercise.

This tub cage is useful for a rescue rabbit that comes in pregnant.
The built in rabbit nest box keeps baby bunnies safe. The shelf allows mummy bunny to sit up away from the baby bunnies.
Put food and water on shelf.
It is an indoor cage.

DIG PROOF RABBIT DAY PEN AND HUTCH WITH OPEN DOOR

Stop your rabbit digging under his outdoor day pen.

A solution would be an indoor playpen for evening and night for safety, company with your bunnies so you can interact with them and enjoy them and reducing their access to the earth around your house. Combine that with a "Day Pen & Hutch" with shade and a big run. 

How to make a Dig Proof Rabbit Day Pen

The run can be made non-diggable by laying a 'carpet' of chicken wire over the lawn then topping it with washed river sand (from nursery). The grass will grow through the sand with some daily watering. 

You can make the pen large so that they are still enjoying your yard during the day but can't dig. 

Put a sandpit in so they can keep up their digging practice safely:)

Wire over your grass, cover with washed river sand, grass will grow up through. No digging!

Shade is important. Shade sails, a tree or umbrella can help. The table offers shade & is 5 degrees cooler under.

Having your hutch up on a table makes cleaning easy

RESCUE RABBITS IN A RABBIT SHELTER NEED HELP

Rabbit Rescue

Rabbits in Need of Help

Rabbit Rescue often involves veterinary and nursing care of the bunnies that we rescue. Quite often they are sick or injured or just thin due to starvation.  

The photo shows Kim Cooney from The Rabbit Rescue Sanctuary medicating a sick rabbit Francis who has been in the rabbit shelter near Grafton for some time. Kim says that when a bunny comes in that has a long term chronic illness or has suffered terrible starvation or cruelty she quite often makes the decision to keep them at the Rabbit Rescue Sanctuary rather than attempt to find a home for them because she says "They have 'done their time with humans and now it is their time, a time to enjoy life with good care and veterinary support from the Sanctuary vet Dr Chris and his wonderful rabbit vet team in Grafton NSW". We thank him for his support of our rabbit shelter.

Francis has a common chronic disease known as ecuniculi or EC for short. This rabbit disease can affect various organs causing paralysis. When Francis came into the Rabbit Sanctuary he began to present with symptoms which quickly developed into a total body paralysis. Kim said, "Only his nose was moving and only slightly". He was seen by Dr Lucy who made his diagnosis and treatment has been ongoing and Francis lives a fairly normal life apart from occasional relapses which quick veterinary treatment and nursing by Kim fix up in no time. At the time of writing he is well enough to play happily with rabbit toys which is lovely to see.

If you would like to adopt a disabled or injured  rescue rabbit contact Kim at the Rabbit Sanctuary Australia for information on how you can work with her to help rescue rabbits in need. Text works best for Kim on 0416 062 947.

Beautiful Rescue Rabbits for Adoption

Beautiful rescue rabbits for adoption

So many pet rabbits are being abandoned around the Christmas period. Some are lost, some are dumpted, some are privately surrendered 

Rabbit Adoption

Rabbit Adoption

 is easy and cost of the setup of the equipment low cost and quick.

For Rabbit Adoption you need to be able to keep your bunnies in your home during the evening and night. This is for the rabbit's safety as well as to ensure that the bunny is included in the family as a little furry family member.  Having a bunny or two in the home is a delightful experience and one we think will last a long time. That is what we are after. A long time home for our bunnies where they are not just a caged animal at the bottom of the garden but a valuable part of the household.

Rabbit Adoption equipment is as follows:

1. a playpen 30" high with human size gate (not a tiny bunny gate)
    having a human gate means you can enter without having to climb over the pen fence.
2. a litter tray with pet litter inside it
3. a hay rack or bag to hang from playpen fence
4. ceramic food and water bowls
5. a tiny kennel or a cardboard box or a short pet tunnel

Where to buy the Rabbit Adoption equipment:

We recommend the playpens on the Pet Homes Direct website. Click here
For your litter tray you can buy a large size one at a cheap shop or a pet shop & also the bowls
You can make a hay bag from a fabric shopping bag and cut a hole in lower front
For the kennel we recommend the HoundHouse Rabbit Size Kennel.
